    No crank after replacing starter.

    Happy to help, and glad I found it. So strange to have the "go ahead signal" for the start circuit tied to the ac clutch. I just hope this helps someone else fix their issue sooner.

    No crank after replacing starter.

    I'm in Oregon. On the coast. We don't use salt on the roads, fortunately. And the sea salt air isn't bad if you keep your car clean. My '05 Equinox has no rust anywhere. But, on all my vehicles, I like to take them thru the car wash that cleans the underside with soapy spray too, just to help...

    No crank after replacing starter.

    The fuse for the ac clutch must have blown the last time the clutch seized and killed the motor. I have the compressor out now and I can't turn the pulley, it's totally seized. Funny thing though, I thought I was very thorough going fuse by fuse checking them all, but somehow missed that one. Oh...

    No crank after replacing starter.

    Ok. I'm just gonna say this makes no sense to me. I found a 10 Amp fuse for the ac clutch that was blown. I put a new one in, and just cuz I've done it after every single thing I've tried, I turned the key. Dang thing started up and ran nice and smooth! So, somehow, the ac clutch fuse will...

    No crank after replacing starter.

    I'm kinda OCD when unplugging wires, hoses, connectors. Everything is tagged with label maker if I unhooked it. Nothing I can find is not where it should be. It ran after doing head gaskets, all I've done since is replace the starter, as the old one was getting weak. What would make the drive...

    No crank after replacing starter.

    Thanks for the reply. Starter is new, and I bench tested it before installing it. Battery good with full charge. (Even tested battery on older rv with 454 engine, turned it over great, 800cca). Test light shows no power to starter solenoid when key in start position. The only changes since it...

    No crank after replacing starter.

    Howdy all, I have a 2005 LS AWD with 3.4v6. Bought the car with blown head gasket. Replaced head gaskets, test ran. Discovered the a/c clutch is seizing and killing the motor. Starter was giving issues as well. Car sat for a few months. Towed it to my garage about 200 feet in neutral but still...
