Dox 23 Posted February 10, 2018 Check the earth from the battery to the gearbox / engine block is intact, also the thick wire to the starter is also intact. Tap the starter body with a hammer too see if you have a bad segment in the starter or the starter is jammed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazG60 0 Posted February 10, 2018 Put the car in gear and handbrake off and "rock" it back and forth. This might unlock the starter if that's the problem . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted February 10, 2018 Check the battery cables as when I thought I had starter motor problems (replaced with brand new starter) but still had nothing it turned out to be green corrosion on the battery cables and earth. All cleaned up and no problems since (4 years ago) Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
