Fixed thanks!!!!

If I had time I'd actually count how many times "starter relay" was excessively repeated.

[@mohamadkhan9899]

If I bet $1 on how many times he repeated “starter relay”, I’d have more money than Jeff Bezos.

[@MorgellonsDelusion]

I wonder if this is an artificial intelligence generated voice-over. The reason I say that is the odd way the word relay is pronounced. Emphasis should be on the first syllable not the second. As in relay relay relay relay relay relay relay relay relay relay.

Advanced Auto Parts Charges 65.00 For Starter Relay for a 97 Cadillac Eldorado Touring. I know I just got one 😢

This works sometimes: bang on relay. I had a horn relay that would not work. So I disconnected battery. Tugged, poked, whacked and shook relay. Would not come out. Read it had to be replaced with whole relay tray, or cut out. Hooked up battery to call it a night and presto it worked. I guess it was just stuck with a little corrosion. If does it again I'll drill 3 tiny holes in the top and spray silicone spray into relay to possibly fix corrosion issue for long time.

[@MorgellonsDelusion]

I think the silicone spray would mess up your contacts. Maybe try the spray for electrical contacts.

[@vehiclefreakauto]

Did anyone try these steps and successfully fix the issue? Would love to know, thanks!

[@pauljeavons8878]

I don't think I have what he keeps saying about. Mines gotta relay starter. Ah well all that effort put into this video. And I haven't even got one of those starter relays.

Starter motor

[@TheGodson2000]

Hi.. My 1999 A4 B5 won't start mostly when engine is warm or hot especially in hot weather... Could it be the starter? Cold start is not a problem

[@rebeccafieldsofdreams8428]

What about if it won’t turn on until it gets cold

[@ALPHA1-2.]

Your pretty smart

[@hughbunyea4703]

I have one. 2017 Ford Feista 1.6 non-turbo. Also the sudden nothing but the following day kind of a slow turn over and when I turned the key back the starter still turn one or two times. Battery was a little over four years old so I replaced it along with the starter. Turns over fast now but clicking along with lights on dash seem to be acting crazy along with the starter still continues a couple of times after I turn the key off. Obviously the car is still not starting. I checked all the fuses and for the relays I just used jumper wires to see if it clicks. Need help

[@leeyand1122]

How do I know which relay is my starter relay? I can't find any information on my vehicle that tells me which one to replace

[@professionalamateur2803]

I am having issues with my starter and took my car to Firestone who convinced me to get a tuneup instead. I have now bought a starter from advanced auto parts which is sitting in the backseat of the car while i look for a smaller mechanic to fix it. My car is still starting but often makes a whirring type noise and takes longer to start. Now Im worried i might need a starter relay and not a starter?! It sounds like it isn't included in the box with the starter. And what about the solenoid... is that included on the starter or is it a completely different part?

[@MorgellonsDelusion]

The starter motor relay is separate from the starter motor and the attached solenoid. Yes most starters have the solenoid attached to it. It may look to sort of like a little cylinder 2 inch in diameter maybe four inches long in sitting right next to the starter motor itself which is maybe 5 in diameter probably. The solenoid is basically an electromagnet that when you give it power it will do a couple things.. it throws the small pinion gear ( you can probably see on the end of your starter motor) forward until it makes contact with the teeth on the Big ear of the flywheel at the rear of the engine. The second thing that the solenoid does is it has big electrical contacts in it so that when the electromagnet throws pinion gear forward into the teeth of the flywheel of the main engine it also makes contact for the starter motor to get a lot of electricity and turn the engine over..

[@itssteve6018]

What is a "tune up"?

[@juliusbello3287]

If you bought a starter, it should have automatically came with connected solenoid.

[@hmongkid12]

So what can lead to a no crank no start

[@DB-rs2cu]

no crank no start, can be a bad battery, bad or loose connections on the battery, corroded terminals, a bad starter relay, a blown fuse, and lastly a bad starter or ignition switch.

[@hughbunyea4703]

Ok I have a 2017 ford feista 1.6. All the sudden it wouldn't start. I noticed that the starter continued to turn 4 to 5 times after I turn the key back to accessory. Replaced the start and it still won't start and the dam high dollar starter still turns 4 or 5 time after the comes back to accessory.killing me. I also replaced the ignition switch
