I'm out of town on military leave and i think my starter has died on my Trans Am. All guages are working, full power to all accesories, no blown fuses. I even attempted jump starting with two very strong truck batteries from emergency roadside assistance. When I turn the key I get the audible chimeas normal for start up, but the car doesn't make a sound after that. No clicking or scraping sounds from the starter. I tried both keys thinking it may have been the pass key, the security light is flashing as i turn the key. Please any help would be great. I am stuck in Wilmington NC. There aren't many parts stores in the are other than Advanced Auto. The rest are all dealerships. Does anyone have any idea how much it would be from the dealer fo the starter alone?

Get yourself a test light and see if you're getting power to the solenoid when you turn on the key.

Is this a manual or automatic ?

did anybody get this guy straight. Where's all that "support the troops" when you need it?

ajg1915

I was there, haven't heard anything back from him yet ?

Maybe it was something simple, hopefully he'll post back up.

Thanks HNDRKSS and AJG1915 for replying. I tried everything possible with the resources I had available. Car is at the dealership now and I know i Am going to get ripped off. I thought about the "support" as well, but I will find a way. Hopefully they won't shred my wallet too bad.

It helps sometime to post where you're at when you have these problems (City & State) as there could be members close by that could come and help ya.

It's probably some kind of safety switch or a bad starter/solenoid.

I happen to own a Tech2, which would have helped you if you were close by.

Best of luck with the repairs,
Tony

Thanks Tony, i could have swore in the original post I put Wilmington, NC???? If I didn't I apologize

You did, I must of have missed it.

I try to break thinkgs up a bit and not write in a big paragraph on here, because it makes it easier to read.

More importantly, did you get your car fixed yet ?
