1996 SL2 Won't Start
Okay, I'll start by saying I've dug through the internet looking to
solve this problem and haven't found an answer yet so I came here. I have a 96 SL2 that won't turn over. I've replaced the battery, alternator, and JUST finished replacing the starter. The symptom is the same as with the old starter, it will click, lights dim, and it doesn't turn the engine over. I'm lost as to what it would be. |

1996 SL2 Won't Start
Have you attempted to turn the engine by hand using a socket or wrench on
the harmonic balancer pulley? If it does not turn then it may have internal damage preventing rotation (Be careful when you do this and take precautions to make sure the engine will not start.) Was the starter solenoid replaced? Are you sure the solenoid is good? (The replacement may be defective.) Is the "click" you are hearing the solenoid engaging? If so, then the ignition switch and starter relay are good, so look for issues in the high current path. Are you certain that the full battery current is getting tot the starter? Are both of the cables (positive and negative/ground too) tight clean and not internally corroded/damaged? Are connections at both ends (grounds to the engine block for instance) clean and tight? Good luck. Bob > wrote in message ... > Okay, I'll start by saying I've dug through the internet looking to > solve this problem and haven't found an answer yet so I came here.
