CAR WILL NOT CRANK
Hey guys,
So today I replaced my old radiator with a brand new Behr OEM one from Autohaus AZ because of a major leak. Anyway, when I was ready to start the car, it wouldnt crank. So I had a friend give me a jump since I thought the battery may have gone flat. Still nothing....We're both completely stumped. The car won't crank, but the electrics seem completely fine. The dash lights up normally when I turn the key and everything seems fine.
I did a bit of searching and heard that it may be the key? It couldn't possibly be the key if the electrics still work right?
It's not a CPS issue. It's not the alternator. Could it be the starter?
When I turn the key to position 4 all I hear is one click and then silence. Please help me diagnose the problem! I'll provide any evidence you guys may need.
Thanks in advance,
CJackson
