Car No Crank No Start No Sound (Won't Turn Over)

[@andthepoetliftshispen5752]

You're absolutely right about giving the starter a few good hits with a hammer, etc. to check for a flat spot. This has worked for me for years. I replaced my original starter with a cheaper Chinese version about 5 years ago on my 2010 Versa. I noticed a gradual failure over the course of the week; sometimes barely cranking, and other times getting a strong crank and easy start. It finally died and got no cranking at all. I did the usual checks, ground wires, battery terminals, neutral safety switch, but nothing worked. I moved my radiator overflow tank out of the way to get some more room for a few good hits on the starter. Worked perfectly. While it was running I drove awhile to get a charge on the battery for the juice I used for my cranking experiments. I shut it down, retried, but again no cranking. Gave the starter a few more taps and it cranked strong and started. Getting a starter tomorrow, but since the battery is 9 years old, I'll probably replace it too. Good luck!

Wow, well explained bra, thanks

Got new battery for my 98 crown vic...it started like a beast 2 times then BAM! Nothing..dead acting. So changed the ignition switch, starter and positive cable. Still dead. Got an online mechanic who walked us through testing things. Hadn't even thought to check negative cable. DUH! The reading from testing ohms and volts the negative was supposed to read .4 or under and ours was reading 12-29 touching different surfaces. Mechanic was omg that's way too high so we're going to replace the negative cable and ground straps. Ford had this STUPID idea to use clamps instead of eyebolts for straps. Can't find replacement straps with the clamp connectors any place..SO..guess we'll have to either call ford or drill holes for eyebolt connectors. Your video went along with what we're dealing with. Just wanted to tell our story to anyone having same problem of no crank.

[@eltonyancey6426]

Do eyebolts , don't mess with clamps.

What about a no crank, no start, but it does turn on after a few attempts, and after shutting it off, it wont crank and start?

My 2005 Odyssey with 385K kms remained Parked all winter outside the garage in Canada. Now when tried to start no crank not sound. Found started burned. Replaced with brand new. Tried again to start with brand new battery, it does crank but for a second or less only, and not much. Thought engine seized, so I manually rotated engine pistons by moving the crank pulley which is at front right side behind the wheel. Still no help. What you can suggest? For now I took out spark plugs and sprayed "Sea Foam" penetrating oil.

[@tahirotahir]

I resolved it myself. After burning the starter motor at the first try mentioned above, and moving engine manually several time from crank pulley. I removed the serpentine (fan) belt and tried to move every (power steering pump, AC compressor, support pulley and Alternator) pulleies with hand or using some tool without damaging their surfaces. I was able to move almost all of them except the Alternator. It was really really jamed. Removed it (there are good videos how to). Tap it with hammer lightly all around and also sprayed in WD40 and Penetrating oil spray. Left it for over night and tap more next day with hammer. It started moving. I hammered it more after pinching or putting pressure on the edges where screw goes in to hold it with car body, because It again was almost felt jammed. Once got free in that position too, I was able to rotate the pulley with hands with any force. I put it back in. JOB DONE! Van started with a quick ignition crank just like brand new. Hope this detailed question and detailed solution help someone like me.

Thank you very useful

I just changed my starter. It worked for a week then the same issue happened again. I now noticed my 30 amp fuse is blown. And now the fuse keeps blowing. What do you think the issue is?

[@Cayenada]

If you change your starter and still nuthing ... try hand turning the belts ... motor could be seized ,

[@MC-yz3js]

No crank , no start. After I run car awhile it will NOT start back. I have to wait several hours until it will start back up. Battery is good, connections good, alt good. Just wont start hot... info ?

[@liyahloveslove7799]

I’m literally having this SAME issue with my car!

[@user-ky7ty3ie1x]

Did you solve it

[@benitocorpuz6336]

You may have a camshaft sensor going bad. If you have a check engine light have it check with a diagnostic reader.

[@Nicole-dj3jf]

​@@benitocorpuz6336hey friend I have a few questions, I had a no crank no start no clicking nothing at all I got it towed to a body shop and the guy won't answer me 200 bucks for the tow anyways can someone up plug a camshaft sensor? Someone wanted to buy my car I wouldn't then this happened its a 2011 chevy Malibu 3.6 ltz oh and they pulled some fuses lol people are so dirty man! Help a lady out please

[@Nicole-dj3jf]

Could be you fuse box, when a fuse box gets hot the inside spreads apart then cools down bam it will start back up, take off your fuse box and heat it up you'll see where the break is then you can repair it easy! I hope this helps it's always that dam fuse box look it up and go see what I'm talking about

[@dogil6]

To bad my starter under intake manifold so how can I do this

Correct it can happen

That's sounds as ignition switch bro

I put the car on jumper cables it made 2 clicks but no turning over.

[@optpr1119]

Hey. Can I get some advice please? I’m looking at a used car to buy. 2005 Cadillac cts. Owner says vehicle doesn’t start due to theft system issue. He also mentioned that he thinks I can bypass it by jumping the starter but he’s not entirely positive. Can you advise on what you think it is? Can you also provide a list of tests I can perform to narrow down what it can be in an easy to follow process? I want to try to get it started when I check it out this Saturday. I appreciate any help.

[@tooththrhr]

Check out all the fuses. Sometimes there's a tiny fuse for security that blows that makes the car not even crank

[@RonaldCagnina]

What about the fuses in the relay Cinema 5 fews 5 fuse the 40 amp fuse all those fuses that helped deliver the power

[@B2sick]

2007 ford explorer sport tract. Had no start no crank after a transmission rebuild. Replaced the alternator,battery,and starter. But it was the shifter the whole.

[@levialston518]

Back in the day you could touch the starter cable to the battery to test tried that so my problem might be the starter

[@scottschmittmusic]

Thanks!😊

[@neuby71]

my starter keeps on grounding out click click sign clicks I replace a starter and I bench tested it and it works. I tested the starter down there I’m getting 12 V. I tested the little wire while trying to start it and I’m still getting 12 V every time I hit the start button I said in 12 signal, but it keeps on grounding out click and I get a full charge battery where is the ground on a 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3 thank you.

Try your ignition lock cylinder.

I had this issue on a 03 Hyundai Santa Fe and the connection was loose from the starter. This is after my wife told me she spilled oil...

I have a 2012 GMC canyon. At times will not crank or start. Let it set for a out 10 minutes it will start right up. And run perfectly. Until it decides to do it again. Dealer did not know how to repair it. Did it every since it was new.

How about alternator?

[@keeptrying7640]

Hay bro, I have the strangest of all starter problems. The starter swings, and the solenoid doesn't get engaged to crank over the engine, but the solenoid works when I tested it by itself with the starter but won't crank over the engine Need help to solve this problem

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

The starter is on its way out. It's too weak to crank the engine because there is load.

[@andthepoetliftshispen5752]

This is exactly what happened to my 13’ Escalade. I was driving then approached a stop sign and car just went dead on me. Battery was good but when I went to start it again, it wasn’t cranking only making one big click sound while I held the key in the start position

[@Yahs-our-All]

@@M5WithSubs do you remember the problem

[@M5WithSubs]

@@Yahs-our-All I haven’t really had any time to work on it or figure out what the issue is , so it’s just been sitting in my yard for the last few months but I’m really hoping it’s just the starter and nothing else major. One of these days I’ll have to go under and check if there’s any loose connections on it and maybe hit it a couple of times to see if it’ll start with that.
