Re: Starter or Solenoid?

If you shorted the big terminals of the soleniod with a screwdriver
and got no starter action, then your starter is bad, OR, the motor
ground strap is bad.
Check the simple first, ground strap.  Take 1/2 of your jumper cables,
the black one, and run it from the negative battery terminal to the
motor and try the key.  The solenoid should click.  If the starter
does what it should, look at the ground strap.  If not, look at the
starter.
