Spyder Not starting, just installed a new starter.

[97|SpyderGST]

My car has been sitting in my garage for a while, and I tried to turn it on with no luck. I'm hearing a clicking sound when turning the key, but that's it. I thought it was the starter, so I looked up how to replace it and was able to get a new one installed. I also thought it was the battery, so I had it replaced. I'm having the same issue. Here's a video of what I'm seeing. Thanks for the help.

Hmm sounds like something very small and simple.

I would verify all of your grounds, battery connections first. I had a similar issue, found out I was only getting 8v or so to the fuse box, because a battery connection wasnt sitting flat/seated.

You can also verify if you are getting a 12v signal to the started signal wire with the key activated.
Should be 12v constant at the main starter wire.

hope that helps.

digital ohm/voltage testers are key!! Just got the best one Oreillys has for $50, you can get a good one for $30 or so

2G - Starter not working

Hello my fellow dsm addicts!I am currently rebuilding my first dsm and I am very close to attempting to start it for the first time. I recently plugged in a battery to make sure all my connections are good and all the cabin accessories work and head/tail lights. I wanted to turn the motor...

Strange that you can hear the click but nothing happens. Have you tried swapping the relay around with a good known one? you will for sure want to check voltage to the signal wire and go backwards from there. I think you'll find it quick

Yeah, I saw someone else tried that, and it worked. It didn't work for me. I'm going to do some testing when I get some time. I'm busy doing the body work right now. Once I get that done, I'm going to switch to getting the car running to get it to get paided.
