Winter Emergency !Starter Keeps Frying!? Motor Not seized Tried Everything
EDIT : SOLVED!! :drinkbud Thanks for all the assistance
Hi. I am in a very bad situation here. I've read over every post I could find but I still am not sure why the truck won't start. 3 starters, 3 different batteries, bypassed relay. tested starter direct, inspected flywheel - replaced battery ground . I am writing this post for my bro. He's the mechanic and I'm trying to help.:banghead
Not even sure what else to add at this point. I am rural and this is my only vehicle right now . I am so SOL if this ain't running ASAP. I greatly appreciate any input you can give.:whiteflag
Also had trouble with the starter 2 months ago, replaced Bendix gear worked till now. Only had the truck since oct.
starter#1
starter #2
i know they're cheap, but $$ is a factor right now and I can't keep putting gas $$ in neighbors vehicles to keep going to the part store when me my bro and dad can't figure out what's going on.
EDIT : Starter #2 was tested at Autozone when bought it worked there. Tried it with new ground. Relay buzzes cracks like crazy. Put 12 volts right to the starter and it just sparks.
:wtf
Edit: Tried multiple batteries all reading over 12 volts. Is it my jumper cables? Could my truck kill 2 starters in a day w/o starting once?
