[QUOTE="MR.ADAMS, post: 9382971, member: 74219"] Alright guys I'm doing this more to vent. The car started and ran fine about 2 weeks ago, no problems. I've been starting it periodically during the winter. I went to start it last week or so and I get nothing. The battery is juiced, all the electrical is functioning, everything is fine except the starter isn't kicking. I disconnected the battery and let it sit for a few days, in the mean time I replaced my fancy gold-plated ground terminal because it had corroded and cracked. I figured this may be causing the issue (when I really had just overtightened it once). With a new terminal everything is the same, all electrical works with no starter, I can't even hear the bendix popping. I've tried jumping the car, unplugged the PATS, the battery, checked all of the contacts up top and just came in from jacking the car up on the ice and snow risking life and limb to put a volt meter to the starter and it says it's getting 12v. I don't know what's keeping the starter from working. I understand the starter may have coincidentally gone bad but for now I think that's unlikely (though I know they can check out whenever they want without warning). Can the PATS system disable the starter? Is there a switch somewhere I'm missing? A fuse? [/QUOTE]
