94 Ply Acclaim, V6

Hi Peter, You can test to see if it is the connections or a starter problem. Connect a voltmeter to the large terminal on the starter. There is a threaded terminal post there where the battery cable connects to the solenoid. Connect the positive lead from your meter to this terminal (not the battery cable) on the solenoid. Connect the negative lead of your meter to chassis ground such as the engine block or starter housing. You should measure 12-14 volts. Watch your meter and have someone else turn the key to start. When you just here the click and no starting see whether the voltage remains up around 12 volts or drops low or to nothing. If the voltage stays up, you have a starter problem such as worn out solenoid contacts or brushes. If the voltage drops way low when the key is turned to start, you have a connection problem such as corroded /dirty battery terminals, corroded or loose connection between the positive battery cable and the starter solenoid, corroded or loose connection between the negative battery cable and the engine block. All of this assumes you have a good battery, of course. Hope it helps, Mike
