starter problems

May 02, 2006 2 Replies

Help!!! I have had my 2003 Saab 9-3 for 2 months. No problems until today. It won't start at all. It does click when I try to start it. The lights work, the radio works. Don't think the battery is the problem. Anyone know if it is the starter or a simple fix? Thanks, not really wanting them to tow my baby!!!

Can't guarantee this will work but put the car in gear (assuming it's a manual and not an auto box) and with the ignition off have someone push the car a few feet forwards (you might want to have the depress the clutch pedal until you have got a bit of speed up). If the starter gear is stuck on the flywheel this trick may free it. Once you have done this then try and restart the car normally.

Most likely it is the battery, or possibly the starter. Have you tried to jump start the car?
