Starter Solenoids

If you are like most people, when your vehicle won’t turn on or has electrical problems, you probably assume that either the starter or the battery is to blame. However, it’s very possible that the starter solenoid is the source of the trouble. 

The starter solenoid in your vehicle receives electric currents from the battery, as well as the ignition switch. When the starter solenoid receives an electric current from the ignition switch, it forces the solenoid to clamp together, which allows the battery to send an electric current through the starter so that the engine turns over. Without a working starter solenoid, you aren’t likely to get far; in fact, your car probably won’t start at all! 

In most cases where the starter solenoid is the problem, the two metal clamps will no longer operate anymore, which prevents the completion of the circuit, and as a result, it prevents the current to flow from the battery to the starter. If your car won’t start, and you’ve jumped it or changed the battery already, then it’s a safe bet that the problem is most likely arising from the starter solenoid. Normal wear and tear can cause starter solenoids to break down, but poor jump-starting technique can also cause solenoids to wear out prematurely.
