Wanted to extend my personal thank you for making this video. This morning I feared for the potential loss of my job but something told me to just look online one more time before just letting go, and I stumbled on to your video. My issue was exactly the first thing you mentioned and quickly I had the help needed to get the job done and get to work on time. Again thank you!

This is an excellent video. It's loaded with valuable information and not any wasted time!! Excellent work!!

Thank you! I’m getting the click and you’re the only one who has mentioned this is normally the solenoid + checking for continuity.

Thanks for sharing the detailed knowledge. I did not want to deal with replacing my starter so tested everything else first on my TSX. It endeded up being the starter, but now I know what to check first including testing relays!

just want to thank you for the most direct and pleasant tutorial i had ever experienced . after i watched your channel, i decided to venture on some other very popular mechanic and it was a disaster from the beginning of his start he started talking about a book to his neighbors barbecue! thank you for not trying to kiss up to your viewers by giving bits of your personal life. i couldn't even stay watching because he took to long to show you how to. i'm not a mechanic but i am a all around handyman and i enjoy watching you tube and mostly masters on there gifted profession i just added you to my subscription. and I'm sending you a contribution. God bless you and your family.

Thank you for sharing. This video has helped me this morning. I followed the steps and managed to start my car. Once again, thank you so much

Great and very thorough professional presentation my friend . You make it easy for even a dummy like me to comprehend. Wish all u-tube vids were as simple and plain .

One of the best tutorials out there with accurate information..thank you! It helps how you show and explain things.

Thanks for your video here, my truck was making a clicking sound replaced the starter still no start. After watching this video i was able to chase down the problem starter relay. being a shade tree mechanic all my life i'm 67 years old this video put me on the right path Thanks so much for the help. when you have a problem like this it can truly wear you out mentally until you get it resolved.

Thanks for helping me. For I was frustrated when my car refuses to start but your advice has made it all worked out.🙏🙏🙏

As is typical of CNT videos, this one is organized, comprehensive, and with clear videography and enunciated speech

I did the relay test the clicking is there but the continuity is not strong is it a bad relay.

[I, own a 2004, x type 3.0 jaguar I, had the same problem no crank no start. It, was the starter relay that was bad I, replaced the relay it works now. thank, you for you're helpful video👍

Great job! Detailed but to the point. Nicely done! Thanks! My problem turned out to be corrosion on the cables where they attached to the positive battery post. My guess is the post kept getting corroded, kept getting cleaned but the cables were “infected” as a longer term result.

Good stuff my man right to the point

Appreciate your guidance

best video out there. thanks a bunch

very helpful thanks for your work

Thanks Bro. your video serve a lot.

Your voice is so reassuring. 😢❤

Thank You, I can feel the Love in your teaching ❤❤🎉🎉. You are a Great teacher, these mechanical things ain’t my specialty lol. Thanks for the comprehensive tutorial 🌞✨🌟. Subbed too 🚀🆙👽

Your videos are helpful, thanks! Regarding your battery pack... it would be great if you can do a video explaining what type of battery options are good for testing relays. I tried to test one of my relays by direct connection to the car battery but I think I fried it! :)

Really? It shouldn't fry the relay unless the wires were crossed. The battery pack I used is an 3s lipo RC battery pack.

Thank you for your helpful video!!!!

excellent information here, I had a starter strand me twice before. luckily i got a duralast with a limited warranty when I replaced it and autozone was able to test it when I yanked it out again, of course it failed and they replaced it but that was not fun (failed after just a year or so of use). Had me thinking it was the fuel pump or neutral safety switch!

Very 19:49 informative, thanks!

thank you so much for the info....I also have the 06 Acura TL . what if I tried all of that but the only thing that worked was when sometimes i press the gas peddle just a little bit when the ignition is on the ON switch and I will turn the key and it cranks right up.... it doesn't always turn it on. But when it's on it drives fine.

Dude. You're awesome. Thanks for the info. Do you have videos working with Toyotas?

Thanks to this video i just had to open the cap and adjust the plus cable and it started up..even the car stereo works now

Thank you!

@@notcorey2890 Yes Corey, we had a car 70 years ago. Look up classic cars, they were modern back then.

With all in good condition that you discuss in this video, I have a 2004 Acura TL, and when I turn the key, I can here the starter relay load up and vibrate. Purchased a new relay, and still the same. After some slow turns of the key It will start. The starter turns the motor over quickly as expected. I did have an issue with a starter switch on another car, and found after replacing, the switch was worn, and had a buildup of aluminum dust and black dielectric grease that caused a poor electrical circuit. I am thinking with the relay vibrating, It may have the same problem and not completing the circuit with a full load to energize the relay as required.

Thank you

Thank you sir your video is very helpful and you helped me by saving money and time thank for that.

Nice video

Mix a very small amount of water with some of the baking soda in a lid or small dish. Then, use the toothbrush to apply the paste to the terminals and clamps. Scrub thoroughly until the white substance disappears. If necessary, you can make use of steel wool to help remove the corrosion, if you dont have sandpaper or a dremmel

Thanks for this video. I can't find relay for our 2015 Nissan Quest. Would start relay be the the push button start/stop ignition button?? I've thoroughly reviewed the manual, under hood fuse box as well as interior fuse panel and still coming up empty, not sure where else to look for it.

Is there any way you could show how to test the ignition swtich on this particular vehicle like you mentioned at the end of this video. I have a 2006 Acura TL and have gone through all your steps and was so excited when you mentioned testing the ignition switch then you broke my heart when you said you weren't going to show that step....hahaha...please let me know how I can test my switch

The inside of the terminals should also be cleaned. There are brushes made for this. One end of the brush is for the terminal on the battery, the other end is for the inside of the cable terminal. Then wipe them with spray oil such as WD 40. This should be good for a year or two. A step further would be to spray the completed connections with a wax type product such Boeshield, LPS-3, or similar weatherproofing.

Hi This Video is great, I have a Toyota Corona 1991 EFI Patrol Car *Battery - Good - Tested with Voltage Meter *Terminals/Posts - Good *Starter Motor is replaced Most of the time 98% of the time when i start the car in the morning fresh it starts quickly. Scenario 1- When i drive the car for a while or keep it running and then switch it off and start it again it just cranks but doesn't start after few keeping still for minutes(random) it starts with longer cranks and giving gas. Scenario 2 - it can be after driving or starting fresh the car clicks with all the lights on dashboards are on,and it doesn't crank at all after sometime (dont know what happens) turning the key several times with hard efforts it starts. Scenario 3 - Sometimes when i start i can see that after i turn the key and keep it pushing for around 1 second or less then it starts cranking(there is a delay in crank) Can you please help me to diagnose this issue It will be really great and helpful. Thank you

What was it

My lights and all are good on my Focus. It's just sometimes I have turn the key multiple times before it starts.

Genius 😎

It amazes me how that lil gadget detect if anything is working or not

could I be using a jumper cable to do the last technique for the starter motor?

Would a OBD2 be able to tell you what’s wrong without having to check the voltage stuff? My Nissan Murano 2007 lights go on and radio but it’s a no crank no start. Wierd thing is that it shows the red key light like it thinks theft

Also thanks for all the detailed step by step. You really should be a teacher or something

Easy way to test the starter is to remove the starter relay, then with wire short the power terminals on the base of the relay, just like the relay would do. If the starter is cranking you know there's no fault but somewhere in the circuitry.

Nice video, but just for reference......the wifi symbol on the multi meter stands for speaker or sound and not wifi [even though it looks like one] ....that setting is for continuity and resistance with sound, beep, added....the setting to the right of it is the same but no sound...most all meters use these standard symbols....

As soon as you said check the battery cables I felt dumb af man lol sho nuff that was the problem lol 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

How do I test the starter switch on the 07 Acura TL? I put a new starter and battery on it and it cranked fine and ran but later it wouldn’t even click. I am going to test the relay but I’m not sure how to test the switch. You think you can help me out ?

Same car I think mi e is the connection but if not it has to be the starter or engine itself

I have a question for u I have a 1994 Ford ranger XLT and I fixed my starter and my battery post and still nothing is turning over so I'm asking u if that means my solenoid is bad

How would we test if power is getting to the starter if we just used the battery ?

I was driving home and my car seat is not the alternator that has plenty of juice in the battery can I be the fuel pump on a 2006 Buick rendezvous 3.5

@carsntoys, Need some additional guidance.. Checked the continuity at the starter (both sides were good), checked the relay (that is good), changed out the ignition switch since it was cheap. I can't get the 06 TL to turn! :( Any additional information??? Battery was new as of 6/2018 Before symptoms started, I would get ONE click then nothing. All the accessory lights and headlights are FULL power.

What was the issue? I have exactly the same one click right before the last start up. Now i have no crank or click at all.

my car starts just fine no hesitation sometimes other times i turn key and get no crank or attempt to start but always get all lights. car runs fine otherwise . hot or cold doesnt seem to affect when this happens or doesnt

Hi I’m TJ, need help for my Toyota Avalon 2004, tryed to clear codes by removing both + &- connectors and touch them together, The car won’t crank and start Need help

Hi...why u said solenoid is good when got continuity between s terminal n body motor....What i Know s terminal Will connect to positive ...right. is it cause short when positive iouching negatif..

Is it true that if it's starter then it wouldn't crank at all ? mechanic told me this and it is showing codes had it scanned at both O' Reilly's and AZ . Mine can take more than one try but cranks over though sometiomes verry weakly . Codes PO420 and secondary PO103 Mass or volume air flow circuit high speed and PO113 Intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high input . Brand new battery .

Is it absolutely necessary to disconnect the battery?

A defective alternator might be a reason why the battery is not keeping its charge. I'm not quite sure how i would test that though...

Just because the battery has 12 volts and the headlights come on does not mean the battery is good , it takes cranking amps to actually turn the starter.

I have the same car it normally starts right away now it doesn't want to starts sometimes

I'm not getting any power to my starter solenoid on my 89 Linc Basket.. What could it be?

This is my question I put a new starter a new alternator and a battery and it still will not start but the lights come on there is no clicking sound

Great tips you should make a video on how to test the park neutral safety switch and also if you have a no crank no start and the check engine light does not light up when key is in the on postion with a good battery then you probably have prolbums with your pcm or if the anti theft light keeps blinking when key is in the on postion then you have prolbums with anti theft system and engine could be seized up if you try to rotate the crank shaft and it wont move
