I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF KNOW WHERE MY CD PLAYER CUT OFF THE MY CAR JUST STOPED RUNNING... i TRIED TO START IT BUT THE STARTER DOES'NT EVEN CLICK OVER.. MY INT LIGHTS AND EXT LIGHTS WORK ALONG WITH MY HORN.. BUT THE STARTER WON'T CLICK OR TURN OVER AND WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENS...... HUUUMMMMM CAN ANYBODY HELP... BY THE WAY MY BABY IS A 85 IROC 305 CARB 5 SPEED..

 

well it could be a blown fuse...its something with the ignintion circut....could be a short somewhere

 

Fusible link off of the starter probably.

 

where is the fuseable link on the starter

 

IIRC, between the starter and the battery.

 

i just had the same problem with my car

except it would not start, i had dash lights and stereo, the starter would work but no spark

i installed a universal link that will easily let me replace the fuse if i blow it

since your starter does not work, it is definetly either the fusable link, or your starter wire leaving from your ignition is fried

it should be a white wire in your steering column, and for the fusable link you should follow the red wire coming from the starter

best of luck

 

:hail: thanks yall for the advice, i gotta start on that stuff today.... i have to and i mean have to get this baby running today i have to drive to app state in North Carolina sunday and well.... lol i kinda have to have my car running to do so...

 

Absolutly the fusable link! My friend and I both own 3rd generation RS's and we installed our open air elements at the same time. The metal from the element shorted out the fusable link. Would you believe that we both blew our links at the same time? Well we did, I can almost guarantee you that that's your problem.

 

Need more info. Does the car crank with a jump? Have you jumped the starter to see if that works? Does the car start with a remote starter on the solenoid? These are easy things to check as part of the troubleshooting.

 

It would be a whole lot easier just to check for voltage after the fuse.

 

i try to jump the car and nothing happens, the car does'nt clik over or do anything

 

well finally i had the time to get my lazy butt under the car and ifound out that one of the grounds that goes into that big wiring harness is broken in half... ummmm i think that might be the problem.... i'm going to get some heaving duty wire and put it back together and then fix it all up..... anybody else agree that this is the problem.......
