My car keeps acting like the starter I replaced is bad...

Asked by Alesha Aug 17, 2017 at 05:48 PM about the 2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring Convertible FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Okay my car all of a sudden wouldn't start, just
made a single click when I cranked it. Battery is still
good, won't jump start so I changed the starter the
next day... it worked but only for me to go to work
and back home. Then the next morning it wouldn't
start again... it started making the same click like
the starter was bad again. I messed with some
cables made sure it looked okay-ish(I am a female)
then waited a little bit then it started.. I killed and re-
started about 5 times. Well I drove it to work and it
wouldn't start again with the same noise..... please
help!!

Sounds like you have high resistance wires from battery to starter. Have your brother test these wires for voltage drop. Also make sure ground wires are clean and do not have high resistance either.

Are these connections at the battery clean and tight? No corrosion or white powdery...baking soda looking buildup? If so this robs your starting voltage. And lastly, have you had this battery professionally load tested?
