you have to hold the battery cable or the nut behind it to keep it from turning with the nut you are removing.
Yes, it will. Remove the starter and have it tested at you local auto parts store. But make sure the battery is not the culprit.
YesFirst if the starter is bad the car will not start, if it will not start it can not charge the battery.If the starter will not work it can mean there is an electrical problem that will also prevent the alternator from charging the batteryThe starter itself CAN NOT CAUSE CHARGING PROBLEMS!The extra load on the battery can ruin the battery and that can ruin the alternator. But before that NO.
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.
Starter solenoid is bad. I assume you mean engine turning over, not starting, but continuing to turn over after key is released. Disconnect battery cable from post, then replace starter solenoid.
not turning on could be flat battery, bad igniton switch, bad safety switch, bad starter motor,bad stater solenoid
Your starter solenoid is sticking. Replace the starter solenoid and you should be good to go.
your starter is bad, has a short in it, or is sticking, you might be able to get the starter tested without taking it off your vehicle.
A failed starter is a likely cause.
Check the battery cables for looseness or corrosion Most likely starter solenoid is going to need replacement
If the engine struggles to start, you may need a new starter. Keep in mind that it may just be your battery that's causing the problem. Yes, a weak battery, dirty/loose battery connections and a bad starter solenoid can mimic the same conditions.
Remove power connections from battery. Remove the wires to the starter. There are 2 bolts, one short, one long, that go from under the starter upwards. Remove these 2 bolts, loosing them each a bit at a time and holding the starter up to keep the turning easy. It is all basically a 'no-see' job, have to go by feel.
