Energizing Your Drive The Role of Starter Motors in Engine Ignition

Since that small amount of electrical current is unable to power the starter, it instead powers a tiny electromagnet, which closes a much larger circuit. When the starter receives the electrical current from the battery, a small gear extends out of the starter and engages the vehicle's flywheel. The small gear ... It would back feed 12 volts to the starter when the ignition turns on power to the coil so power would be going to S any time the key was in the ... 2011 Murano that will not try to crank when the starter button is pushed. All lights and gauges work. Battery has been load tested and new starter. When the starter is hooked up off the truck it will spin fine but when it's on the truck it bumps the engine over a few inches and looses power. This new starter worked for a day and a half and now when trying to start the car the sterter whines and spins but the bendex doesn't engage. No crank, slow crank and stuck starter solenoid problems have the same root causes – low battery voltage and poor connections. The purple wire going to the solenoid should get power when you turn the key to the start position. Did you check for that? This problem has got me stumped. Truck is in no start condition, turned the key and sounds like nothing going on. Originally suspected clutch position switch. If there is no power to the small solenoid wire then you need to test the starter relay, the contacts inside the relay could be dirty.
