The charging voltage fluctuates between 13.9 and 14.1V. So I went ahead and removed the starter and tested it on the side walk. I also put a jumper wire with alligator clips and bridged the starter 12V post and the solenoid post. I got 12V on the meter and test light lit up when cranked. Re the starter, I asked the wife to crank while I was under the engine compartment with a fluke digital meter and a test light. I went ahead and replaced the starter battery since I cannot read the date code. I removed all the engine compartment ground and cleaned them before the trip. My charging voltage is 13.9V to 14.1V on my scangauge2. Next destination: Channel Islands then Yosemite.Ĭlick to expand.Re the Y cable, it's good.

It was real stressful to breakdown in the middle of a long trip. HOpe this AutoZone reman starter lasts more than 20k miles. So PO installed a reman starter at 18k miles. Jacked up the front and crawled under to access the terminal bolts and 2 starter mount bolts.įor fun, tested old starter with the old starter battery, starter will not run, got it to run once and that's it. Went under the engine with a jumper alligator clips, bridged starter 12V post with solenoid post, starter did not engage.Ħ. Was told to connect scanner and check TCM live data to make sure it's in Park and can move shifter out of park with key on.Ĥ. Bought H8 AGM starter battery from O-reileys, still no startģ. Battery voltage: 12.3V dropped to 12.1V after 3 tries.Ģ. Parked overnight at a friend's house along the street.įollowing morning, about to leave, key in, electronic lock disengages, turn key to start, no click, no cranking.ġ. Travelled from GA to Sta Barbara, CA (2,600 miles).
