Starter, No click at starter with ignition or remote start Options

[rgare]

No click

- Resistance between negative battery to starter case: 0.3
- Voltage at the the battery: 12.73
- Voltage at the starter: 12.73
- Voltage at the ignition spade while cranking: 12.53

If I connect a remote between the battery lead on the starter and the ignition spade on the starter and a multimeter to the battery lead, voltage drops from 12.7 to 2, when I press the remote. The starter doesn't click or engage. (I don't know what to think of that)

I just got the starter back from a local rebuilder with a good reputation. Before I take it back and have him check it, does anyone have any ideas?

Got it to crank, short of it is the battery screw down on the hot side was corroded.

I checked the ground, cleaned it, nothing changed. I checked the leads they had a .3 resistance IN THE LEADS, my stupid fault for not verifying. Grabbed a different set of leads and rechecked 0 resistance showing in the leads 0 between the ground and the starter body.

Redid all my checks no difference. Except 0 ohms on the ground.

You mentioned using a set of jumper cables tried that starter turned over. Then tried each side in turn. Jump ground, no go, jump hot, turns over. Check resistance between battery and cable, 0.6. Pull the screw down apart, all corroded.



Grab a new screw down, transfer all the wires, starter turns over!!

I was checking the voltage on hot, and the resistance on ground, but never checked the resistance on hot.

Thanks for your help, she hasn’t started in 20 years, and she’s not quite there, but I’m a little closer.
