The small wires corrode first @ the battery, the most. 70 percent of that 80 you provide in the video. I frequent the junkyard and have seen thousands of batteries wired in many different configurations. if resistance is the enemy, corrosion is its financier. I took your class back in 2001.. you are a fundamental instiller. I credit your influence as one of my foundation stones of learning. thanks again.

[@flashmedia8953]

Nice video. The reason for a bigger relay switch is because the relay on the cranking motor requires more current to run that motor. The connection between the motor relay and the cranking motor and to battery are thicker. You always need thicker cable to carry high current. This is why you always check the connection in this area for issues. You don't want exposed wires or loose connections at all. Anything that has moving parts, would eventually fail.

[@andrew_koala2974]

Cranking motor is correct terminology = even going back to the 1960s where cars had a cranking motor- many were designed with the ability to be started using the trusty crank handle --- This ceased to be so with the advent of automatic transmission. These days also it would be difficult to turn over an engine using a crank handle given higher compression ratio than what use to be and vehicle electronics complicating the matter even further. A car battery would suffer in very cold weather conditions - such as freezing cold - particularly when not used for a few days -- Thus being able to start the engine by manual cranking saved the day - and no need to spend money exercising at the gymnasium - manual engine cranking was excellent exercise .

Dear Mr. Sullivan, thanks for the great information. Have just purchased a Loadpro and would like to ask how I can test the cranking motor on a Porsche 997 with slow crank. Do I have to remove the cables from the starter to test if there is any resistance in the cables or can I do the test with cables attached? Help much appreciated for an interested amateur like me.

[@signalaheadoriginaltunes4159]

Hey, R. Muckle! When you say "Vehemently disagree that 80% of the time it's wiring!!

Love the art... keeps things clear (even if it takes awhile...). But I'm getting thrown off by the mixing of solenoid, relay, switch. All "switches" but solenoid and relay are different pieces of kit and function in slightly different ways. Thanks for doing this!

[@bivideo7]

A "solenoid" is always a valve - NEVER a switch, even thought that's what people think. Only a "relay" is a switch. Up to you to know the difference.

[@terrymiler2164]

I have been working on cars for 40 years and not once,not even from an old timer have I ever heard anyone call it a cranking motor.

[@bivideo7]

All wrenches apply torque, but I'll bet you still think you have a "torque wrench" in your box. A relay and a solenoid are different - right? I'll bet you even use water to explain electricity - which is pointless and wrong. I'll stick to what I do best, so you do the same.

I've got both problems. Cranks once, that's it. After that, turn the key and no crank. New battery, full charge. After crank once, have to charge battery to get it to crank once again. UPDATE 5/30/18 - checked every circuit for parasitic draw. nothing. turns out it was the alarm system. if we don't use the alarm, the battery stays charged and the car turns over and starts with no effort.

[@ryanwebb5365]

JoshuaFinancialPL same problem figured out the problem?

[@mattp1482]

Well than charging your battery didnt make it crank again, and proper testing would have shown the battery was good and not the suspect...

I tried to program my key for my 4gen odyssey but failed due to this gen can only be done in dealership with special tool. Then days later my odyssey quit on me while cruising in town. Now it's towed and I manually charged up the battery to around 12.8v and tried to crank. But I only can hear is click, a sound like a breathe in click and that's it. No crank at all. Sir, do you think it's related to the relay or fuse or anything else. The van was running like a champ before it stopped. Any ideas that you can share?

Why the starter works when you bump it ,Is that the solenoid problem not the motor?

[@TNTHammer]

Help. My miata one day stalled out when I put the clutch in on deceleration, but I was able to bump start it back to power, however it started making knocking sounds and had no power at all and eventually I stopped and wasn't able to bump start it again and it would crank really slowly but it wasn't battery because I had replaced the alternator 6 months ago and also jumped the car and tried cranking it and it still would turn over ridiculously slowly. I also heard a bit of knocking at around 3k rpm a few days prior but it went away as the RPMs increased. Is this piston slap? Bent valves? Broken oil pump? Bent valves?

I wish I could draw like that.

[@davidlancheros9884]

I have a not start and no crank only my 2002 Ford Explorer sport trac 4wd but I connected a wire from the battery to the starter and when it makes contact with the negative it turns on so the starter shouldn’t be the problem nor the motor so could it be the cable from the battery be bad or the ignition switch ?

Not sure what's touching what, but diagnose electrical problems by asking "what's right", not "what's wrong". Rule out everything that's working. What's left is the problem...

Dan, I was starting to follow your video but have decided to do otherwise. Where is part 3 and so on in this series? In four years since you wrote part 1 and part 2 there has been no further training on this subject or there is no obvious way to find the next videos in this topic. You claim to be an educator and it would appear so by the content of your videos but I think it is disingenuous a claim when you don't follow up with the conclusions to this series in a timely manner and that causes me to question whether I should invest my time and money any further in your lectures and products.

Interesting video!

[@robertmuckle2985]

I have to vehemently disagree that 80% of the time it's wiring!! Almost ALWAYS it's corrosion and or dirty battery post/terminals....period. And a wee tip for newbs...if you find yourself stranded with no tools & (no, or dead slow crank)...lift the hood, place 2 hands pressure on each positive and negative battery posts, and apply a slight turn in either direction. OFTEN this will re-establish contact with the starter. When you get home, remove those terminal cables...clean them and apply a very small amount of dielectric grease.

[@bivideo7]

Terminals and battery posts ARE wiring. If it isn't the actual motor, it's circuit. The circuit fails 80%. Thanks for agreeing, even if you weren't aware you do.

So I went to advance Auto parts to run a test on alternator and the guy said it's my starter and that my battery was full power. So just got my new starter put in and still did a slow crank after it sat for couple of hrs . Any ideas of what it could be??
