    Truck not turning over

    Update, it was the starter and a couple of faulty grounds, new starter, couple of new ground leads, new set of plugs and she now fires up 1st time. Thanks everyone for all the advice. Appreciate it .

    Truck not turning over

    You’re absolutely correct, the starter has its own solenoid attached as you say is standard, the purple wire is attached to the S terminal the main starter cable from the battery goes to the main stud on the starter as expected. I’ve pulled the starter and bench tested it and it its dead. I’ve...

    Thats good to know thanks, do you happen to know where the 2 small cables (1x black, 1x brown) go to from the solenoid? I don’t want to remove it if it might knock something else out.

    Thanks for that, i’ve only had the truck about 5 months and never really paid much attention to the engine bay until now, it looks as if it may have had a “factory?” Secondary battery installed, which is no longer there. Could that solenoid with the missing cable be for that?

    Truck not turning over

    Ok, pulled the starter out, hooked it up with a fully charged battery, connected a remote starter switch and nothing. So I guess its a new starter motor. One other thing, when the starter was out of the truck, i turned the ignition switch to start, and it made the exact same clunk noise. I...

    I’m certain nothing was left on, think i’m going to pull the starter and bench test it as soon as it stops raining.

    Truck not turning over

    thats exactly what i thought about the fender wall solenoid, as far as i can see there is no physical connection between it and the starter. On the starter there is what i see as a normal solenoid, one heavy cable from the battery going to the main post, with a slightly smaller purple cable...

    Thanks for that, the cables to the positive post are pre-moulded into the side connector so I assumed it was factory.

    Truck not turning over

    Battery is showing 12.7 volts, i’ll put it on charge again and see what happens, i’ll also try a remote start switch to rule in or out a switch issue.

    Truck not turning over

    The battery is showing 12.7 volts, and the junction block on the firewall is showing the same voltage. What i’m thrown by is the solenoid on the fender wall has a maybe 10awg wire (black/red) from the bottom stud going to the firewall junction block, on the same terminal is a similar size...

    Truck not turning over

    Hi I have 1992 C2500 Silverado 350, I replaced the battery with a brand new one today, now when i turn the key it doesn’t turn over, just click / clunk which seems to be coming from the solenoid. When i turn the ignition on to the start position the battery gauge now climbs to just over 10 or...
