Need a little help!

starter/solenoid does it make any noise? or just a 'click'? or what?

another idea would be to look at the OTHER end of the battery cable- it might have snagged something or corroded

There is no noise it doesnt do anything but dim the lights when I turn the key. It doesnt turn over at all and all electronics work?

if starter isnt clicking take a hammer and hit it....last time my starter went out thats what i did to get it to work. buts still seems like battery is weak.

I switched batteries with my parents suburban and the suburban continues to run perfect but mine does the exact same thing. I will have to try the starter. Would my starter be bad if it wasnt having any trouble at all cranking over and starting before?

they can fry all of a sudden just like any electronic

I'd give it a few wacks, if that does nothing, check it with a volt meter to make sure it's getting power and if still nothing, change starters

Ok well I am pretty sure its on warranty at Autozone so I think I will just take it off and have them test it for me in the morning

wouldnt hurt to check the starter wires. loosen them wiggle them then tighten. they maybe loose to begin with. just a thought

 

[Kyle97GMC]

I will check it all out in the morning hopefully its not completely done haha thanks for the advice!

So I thought I fixed the problem yesterday by changing the starter ( warranty) and cleaning the terminals all up because it ran fine all day then it sat from eleven pm to 7 30 and I go to start and nothing.... Im right back where I was. Do you think it could be the alternator? This is just really driving me crazy.
