| Post subject: | Is My Starter Going Bad? |
A while ago I went to start my jeep and each time I turned the key, 3 times, it would try to start for a fraction of a second, but nothing happened. Then on the 4th try it finally started up normal. After this it worked fine for a month. Today I try to start my jeep and turn the key 4 times, each time again it tries to start for a fraction of a second, but that was it. On the 5th try it started normal and has been normal since then. What is going on? Any ideas? |

It could be your battery going out maybe. |

can you hear the starter spinning, making a whine, but the engine just wont turn over? |

It sounds just like it normally does when you go to start it, but it only last for a fraction of a second. So it's not just a "click" sound. It never gets to the point of actually turning over. Just makes the normal "grunting" sound of an engine starting but just for that fraction of a second. Makes me kind of nervous because I'm always way out on forest roads on the weekend. A stuck jeep out there would really suck !!! |

Or maybe loose or corroded battery cables. |

Possibly a bad connection to the starter as well |

x2 on the bad connections, I have done many temporary starter fixes just by wiggling a loose connection, then fixed it right when I got home. |
