Before diagnosing starter issues, ensure a fully charged battery. If the starter motor doesn't turn, check the shift lever is in Neutral or Park and that the battery is charged with secure cables. If the motor spins but the engine doesn't turn over, the starter motor may need replacing. If the motor doesn't operate but the solenoid clicks, the problem could be the battery, solenoid contacts, or motor connections. If the solenoid doesn't click, the defect could be in the solenoid, relay, ignition switch, Transmission Range sensor, clutch switch, or wiring. Check the starter circuit and test the relay with a jumper wire. If the motor operates, the relay is fine and the issue may be in the ignition switch, Transmission Range sensor, Clutch Pedal Position switch, or wiring. If the motor doesn't operate, check for voltage to the relay and inspect the Mega Fuses, main battery fuses, and cable to the relay. If voltage is present, replace the starter assembly. If not, trace the wiring for an open circuit. If the motor cranks slowly, ensure a fully charged battery and clean, tight terminal connections. Check the solenoid and battery ground connections. If the engine cranks slowly, it may be partially seized or have the wrong oil viscosity.

Some models are equipped with self-leveling suspension systems, and failure to disconnect electrical power may result in unexpected shifting or movement of the vehicle, which could cause personal injury.
