My sons 2011 2LT
Used motor put in runs great !
First time they tried to start it after install blew fuse ! ( DO not know which one yet ) Will update when fixed !
about a month later car did not start. towed in replaced fuse ! Ran great about a month + or -
Tonight Jr. pulled in and parked ! Said some idiot light flickered, and did hear a chime ! Tried to restart NG ! You do hear Relay click
Sorry for limited info as I do not have a scanner , but think I will get one lol just trying to get your input on possible cause! And see what mechanic says !
I assume the starter is on its own fuse ?
Anything else that may be inline with it ?
IMO I am thinking a chafed wire !
Or possible New Starter took a dump !
Thanks for any ideas
Who ever guess's right will win a cookie :o

 

Could be a dying battery, loose underhood fuse box halves, loose corroded ground wires.

 

I bet it is something connected to the fuse that blows.

 

Yes, we need to determine which fuse refuses to work.

 

If a mechanic is fixing it, I'm not sure what you want from us. If you tell us what fuse blew, we may have a better idea of what is going on.

 

He said whoever guesses right wins a cookie!! So, file your guess, lol!

 

Battery is new ! I will find out what fuse in a day or two !
I was wondering if maybe the pinched a wire when putting in the new motor !
Is there a Single fuse for the starter ? This is where I wish I knew how to fix cars like you guys lol... I was just fishing for ideas ! If they find the issue I will updatewith better details , I know this was a shot in the dark

Thanks
Hope you all heave a good evening

 

Depends on what "won't start" means. Pinched wire would be my first try.

 

Missed wire can also be the problem and or a wire connected to the wrong terminal in the starter solenoid

New battery. Was new before these starting problems? Or new after, and didn't solve the problem?
