3000gt won't start

Mitsu3000 30 April 2005 08:58:17
 there is an after market alarm on my car i think this could be the problem.
The car won't start,
when you turn the key you can hear a single click. I tried to jump it but
it didn't work. i think the alarm is somehow stuck on it won't let me arm
or disarm it. Is there any way to get around the alarm with out ripping
out wires?

the span of 13 months. not good.

 Could be the starter solenoid. Make sure the battery posts are clean and
tight. Also check that the cable going to the starter as well as the ground
to the engine block are also clean and tight too. Assuming battery is good,
most common problem with click but no start is the solenoid contacts are
worn out or very dirty ...

Good luck

Bob

 Lots of 3000GT starters and solenoids get replaced because of the "click"
when the problem is really deterioration in the circuit going from the
battery to the ignition switch and then to the solenoid. The factory wiring
barely carries the amperage required so when the ignition switch and wires
get a little old as well as the starter and solenoid replacing one item can
temporarily fix the problem. The cure is very simple, install a relay in the
wire between the ignition switch and solenoid and use the old wire to trip a
direct connection from the batt to the solenoid.
To test if this is your problem just turn the key from on to start...the
spring loaded position ...over and over and if it starts then you know what
to do. Don't turn it back to acc or off because you don't want to keep
activating the fuel injection and flood the engine.An alternate test is to
hold the key in the start position for 5 or 10 seconds to see if enough
electrons become courageous.
If you need more detailed help let me know. TG
