Hey everyone please help me with this issue I'm going to lose my job if I cant get this fixed. I live in montana, and so of course it gets extremely cold. When we attempt to start our car in the morning we put the key in the ignition and turn the key and it just clicks. Everything else turns on like it should but for some reason the car will not start. Brand new battery, starts any other time except early in the morning. The other day I spent 45 minutes trying to jump start the car thinking that it was a bad battery (happened with another car) and nothing. We are going to buy a block heater on payday today, but we would still would like to know if you guys have any other ideas on what it could be. Thank you for your help...

Sounds like a frozen starter.Strap a drop lite on it overnight.

 

[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]i have the same problem in the winter mornings. But not sure how to fix it either. Hope more people can comment and help out with this problem.

 

its most likely your starter, its either very very frozen, or just bad

 

thank you for the info i bought a new starter and i havent had the time to put it in yet,called to a local machanic but they said that it was going to cost about $150 in labor and another $225 for parts so im going to try an put in myself[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

 

good luck hope you know what your doing lol ahhah[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]jk

 

if you go on the autozone website for do it yourself its pretty good,
its not that hard to to, the starter is just really hard to get to.
once your on there its only a few bolts(probably very rusted) and a
couple wires.

 

Basicly thats my problem and i really dont want to pay the money for the labor since the starter is right next to the firewall on the side of the motor towards the back of the car
