Answer by Greg
It’s probably your starter, and it will need to be replaced. You’re probably looking at a hundred or two hundred bucks, depending on your mechanic and part cost for your particular model.

In continuation of my “Short Takes” video series at All City Auto, I give a tour of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this suv while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this suv designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Question by Niner: Where to bolt ground wire, Chevy V8 305?
When they put a rebuilt V8 305 in my 1989 Chevy truck, they bolted the ground wire to a mounting bracket, not to the block. Lately the truck has been more and more difficult to start, and I think it is because the bracket is just a bad place for electrical conductivity. Starter, alternator, and battery are a-ok.

I want to bolt the ground wire directly to the block, and there’s a threaded hole nearby. See photo:

Is the threaded hole in the picture a good place for the ground wire (I would sand it down to shiny metal first)? If so, what are the dimensions of the proper bolt, or what’s it called so I can ask for the right thing at the auto parts store?

Or is the ground wire supposed to be bolted elsewhere?

Best answer:

Answer by Rubo
yes bolt it to the block and from the block put another one to the frame. Im not to sure on the bolt but remove one that’s already in place and match it up be sure to make it a grade a it wont rust or break in the block

Question by John W: Can a starter go bad on a 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 with only 46,000 miles on it?
We all know that familiar clicking sound when you turn the key, no engine crank but full power, lights, dash. Is it the starter?

Best answer:

Answer by PMack
Is the battery original? If so, it’s most likely the battery, it’s four years old. Try jump starting it – I’ll bet it works (give it a few minutes connected to the running car if it doesn’t work right away).

The lights do not require nearly as much power as engaging the starter does, so the lights working does not mean the battery is fine.

Question by sanzofsavvy: Battery or Alternator?
I have a 1999 lexus es300 (101k miles), when I turn the key, the dashboard lights turn on as well the door but the car won’t start, when i jump start it, it drives fine but the minute I turn off the engine, it does the same thing (won’t start).

Question by Kendra: how to remove starter solenoid 99 malibu?
I got the starter off and thought the solenoid would be attached but it’s not. it’s a 1999 chevy malibu v6. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Steven P
Should be like a can on the side of the starter. Are you sure you are not think of the ignition solenoid for starting at the steering column?

What do you think? Answer below!

I thought it was an exhaust rattle. Turns out it’s not. I’m thinking either flex plate is cracked or the starter is disintegrating. My money is on starter because if you hit it or push on it the sound goes away. Sound wise I think it could be either or both.

Question by butterfly0221: Needing to know location of starter on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo?
Jeep wouldn’t start. Just one click when turning key, doesn’t attempt any more. Battery is reading at 12.5V, checked with volt reader. Not sure where the starter is located exactly. Anyone know where it is located or had similar issues?

Best answer:

Answer by Chris T
It’s gonna most likely be on the lower driver’s side near the transmission or bellhousing. Its gonna look black and about the size of a coffee can. Try tapping the side of it with a hammer while someone else trys to start the Jeep. Sometimes things just need to be free’ed up in there. Especially if its salty and sandy where you are this time of year. To test it, you can disconnect it, pull it out, then hook it up to a power source directly, if it turns, then its not your problem. If its having issues, then just swap it out at the local auto parts start, prob about $ 120 plus core. Good luck
