[s-cars] No start??

[chris chambers]

No it doesn't, you have two separate circuits.

Check the battery cables, I had a worn connector on mine which caused it to vibrate loose enough that it wasn't
making a good enough connection to turn the engine over.

Start with simple, check the battery cables ... remove inspect thoroughly.

>Thanks but it is something else.? I just tossed my 50amp charger on it with no change.? The positive was connected to the stub in the engine compartment and the negative was connected to the engine.? I figure this bypasses all the grounds that could be suspect.? Anything out there that could inhibit the starter from operating?

>This has got me totally confused.? Victim is a 95.5 S6 with 175K miles.? I parked the car a few days ago. An hour later wife goes to move it, comes back in and said everything looked normal but nothing happened when she turned the key.? I go out and she is right.? Next day changed the ignition switch as most probable cause but not feeling good on that 'cause old switch feels great.? Change switch - no change - no start, no clicky on solenoid.? Decide to check for power at starter.? There is battery power to the solenoid and control power (from the key switch) but then I notice that the braid on the starter to solenoid has rotted through.? So I figured it was the starter.? Replaced the starter with a Bosch rebuilt unit.? Tried to start it up - nothing.? Everything looks proper - OK light comes on, alarm works normally, idiot lights look fine, have 12VDC.? Any been there - found that - out there?
