I have a 05 z. You turn the key and it wont start. Turn the key and it doesmt even crank. You can just hear a clicking sound like the starter is engaging but not turning the fly wheel. I tried jumping it to no avail. Also tried a new battery and that didn't help either. Should i just buy a new starer or what. Also does anyone has a si|mnm

Turn the key and it just clicks, tried jumping it no help. Changed the battery no help. Any ideas?? Should i change starter? Does anyone have a diy for a starter change?

Lorda mercy.
If you have a good, new batt the next step is a new starter/solenoid.

Also look under the vinyl under your batt cables. If green, change out.

pm me if you need to. This should not be happening to someone who joined in 08.

If you've checked the battery cables and replaced the battery, I would try checking to see if the vehicle starts in neutral. If it does, there may be a bad neutral safety switch at play. If it doesn't, I would pull the starter for a rebuild/replace.
