- Listen for clicking sounds when turning the key or pressing the ignition button. If you hear a rapid clicking noise, then it will indicate several faults with the motor. Call a mechanic as soon as possible.
- Check the car battery. This can lead to many faults, so ensuring that it is in complete working order is important for all drivers.
- Test connections and sensors. There are many electrical wires and sensors in and around the engine and starter motor. They all need to be working for the starter motor to do its job.
If these tips don’t work, then it could indicate a more serious problem involving the gear, engine, or solenoid.
