Turn key to start position. Starter won't start

Asked by GuruDQ14N Sep 06, 2017 at 01:16 PM about the 1995 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I replaced the starter on my 1995
Chevy 5.7. now when I turn it to start
nothing. Gauges don't move but radio
works. If I have the key in run position
and jump the starter it still won't state.
Is this the ignition switch? Ground wire
problem? I'm lost I just bought this
dang thing .

Check that all the wires are in their proper mounting points. And check if all of the ground wires are connect properly to the truck//motor

Are you sure you connected all the wires correctly to the starter? If the wires are not properly connected to the solenoid, it will not crank when the key is turned. Re-check all your connections and also make sure the shifter is in Park or Neutral.
