Why might a car with a new battery and new solenoid not start or even crank?

if the car has a new battery and solenoid then I would remove the starter and bench test it. if it bench tests ok then make sure it is not jammed. does the starter click? if not then it may be wires. check and make sure the little solenoid wire is connected as well.

Can the starter solenoid make a car act like it has a dead battery?
Yes. If the solenoid fails to energize to engage the starter, it may seem like a dead battery. However, by turning the lights on and observing that they stay bright even when trying to start the car, it provides the symptom of a bad solenoid and not a dead battery. that is generally true. even better is honking the horn, if it is loud and high like normal then battery may be ok, if is low and sounds sick then battery is down, not necessary dead but needs tending to, further i have seen that if all those things check out sometimes it is the connections on the cables both sides and definitely on the starter solonoid itself. if battery cable is run from battery to starter solonoid and nothing occurs then battery needs looking at. if battery is ok and all fails then solonoid is bad, bad solonoids can be repaired by disassembly and rotaing contact screw 180 degrees to allow a new contact surface. generally takes less time than running to pick up new solonoid and cheaper too
If the fuse block melted on your 1983 Chevy pickup how can you bypass all unnecessary wires to get it running?
If the fusebox melted there is probably a reason and it would be best to have it repaired proffessionally but assuming there are no short circuits you can run a single wire from the battery positive to the coil positive to get ignition power and then using a screwdriver bridge the main battery cable and small start terminal on the starter solenoid to turn the engine over.
Can a 40 amps jump start be used as battery charger?
Yes, but you cannot leave it for long periods of time or the battery will overheat and boil acid away. Normally a fully dead battery to a full battery should take about 2 hours to charge up at 40 amps.
When I try to start me car it wont start and makes a clicking sound?
sounds like your starter, some times if you get under neath the car and hit the starter a few times with a rubber mallet or a hammer. It will break free if its froze up, but if it won't turn over after doing that then your starter is toast. If the starter goes it sometimes takes out the battery too. so you might need a new one as well.
2004 Chevy silverado will not start. Key is in start position but will not crank.?
Dead or weak battery Loose or corroded battery cables Bad Starter Bad starter solenoid Bad Neutral switch
My cub cadet wont start when turning switch it makes aclicking sound that comes from on top of pullie over blade?
That is probably your solenoid. It is what tells the battery to send voltage to the starter so it will crank the engine over. Most of the time it is just a low battery that makes it make that sound. There isn't enough voltage to keep the solenoid engaged. Although, it could be a bad solenoid. If jumping it doesn't start it then it is more than likely the solenoid. If jumping does start it then you need a battery.
What if your car makes a clicking sound when you try to crank it?
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
Why is it that sometimes my 2002 Trans am starts right up and other times it doesnt crank or start and the battery is good.?
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
Whats is causing 00 olds intrigue to start and the next time it doesn't start or crank A few seconds latter it does?
Low battery voltage? Perhaps a lose or corroded battery cable Loose starter cable Weak starter solenoid Weak starter
My alternator is not getting power from the battery The wiring from the battery to the solenoid and from the solenoid to the alternator is good is this a bad solenoid the car will start and run?
Check for a bad fusable link at alternator
1986 rx-7 has overheated a couple times and now it will not start-it will only start after a push start-there is no starter noise what could be wrong?
I would first check for voltage at the ignition switch start feed wire on the solenoid(be sure to unhook it first from solenoid). If you are getting power on this wire when turning to start. It should be an issue with the solenoid/starter. Some part of this assembly could have been damaged from the overheat. If no power to the crank wire, I would get a hold of a repair manual and trace the crank wire from the ignition switch all the way to the starter, making sure it has battery power to that terminal on the solenoid. Once you have that and a known good starter she should crank right up. hope this helps.
You get a click when you try to start your 1985 Chrysler The battery is good and it will start right up when you get under the car and jump the solonoid connections with a screwdriver Is the solenoid?
solenoid is bad ,have it replaced,but check for remote solenoid first some vehicles have another solenoid mounted closer to battery
What does it mean when 1994 GMC Jimmy won't start just clicks?
Flat battery or sticky starter motor / solenoid - try re-charging battery or get a jump start Flat battery or sticky starter motor / solenoid - try re-charging battery or get a jump start
2001 Ford Excursion v-8turbo diesel that will not start When you turn the key you get a clicking noise What might be the problem?
clicking noise when u turn the key to start is either a bad battery or bad battery connection or the starter needs replacing rule out the solenoid, as the clicking you can hear comes from the solenoid
1993 dodge grand caravan doesn't crank to start it only makes clicks once but doesn't start?
A single click when trying to start the engine is usually an indication of a loose battery cable/wire or a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch.
What could be the problem when alero's wont start but it is not the starter?
If it doesn't turn over: Might be: weak or dead battery Loose or corroded batery cables Starter solenoid Neutral switch but they have a fuel pump resistor in front the radiatior, if its bad the car will crank but the pump will not supply fuel
