Starter Problem

[JDMRSDAD49]

ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HEAR CLICK WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I CAN HOLD THE KEY IN START POSITION AND PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AND HEAR IT CLICK THEN THE START CLICK. I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER. THE BATTERY IS LESS THEN A YEAR OLD AND SHOWS 12 VOLTS AT THE POLES. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A FUSE OR FUSABLE LINK AS IT SAYS IN THE FACROTY SHOP MANUAL, BUT CANNOT FIND ANY. HELP PLEASE.

Have you tried rolling it and dropping the clutch?

doesnt sound like a starter problem....

check the clutch interlock relay. have someone hold the car in the start position while you tap on the relay.

WHERE IS THE INTERLOCK RELAY? THE SWITCH BY THE CLUTCH PEDAL IN THE CAB WORKS. IF YOU HOLD THE KEY TO START AND PUSH ION THE CLUTCH YOU WILL THEN HEAR THE "CLICK". IS THERE ANOTHER INTERLOCK SWITCH??

blue relay located in the engine compartment mounted to the inner fender area. its different then all the other blue relays on the car it has 2 connectors plugged into it. one connector is larger then the other.

I am chasing the same problem. I recently removed the wires from the battery and from my starter. After checking everything out I hooked it up and everything is working for the time being. This makes no sense to me unless I made a better connection to my starter.Mine is an automatic so I know its not a clutch interlock. I used the search key and found a thread that says its the starter. When it just clicks once its the starter starting to go. You can buy a new one at autozone for roughly 125$ or have it rebuilt for 90$.
