My CV has been starting to have an issue while starting. I haven't had a chance to dig in and really take a look yet but I'm curious if it sounds like it's the solenoid on the fender or the starter itself.
So, sometimes when I start the car, the starter just "clicks" and doesn't spin. It takes a few back and forths with the key before the starter kicks on fully and spins and the engine starts.
Last night, the starter spun on the first try but didn't disengage. Even after turning the key off and taking it out, the car was still cranking until I shook some wires by the solenoid. I'm pretty sure that was the solenoid getting stuck.
So, does it sound like both the starter itself is dead (was replaced in 2011-2012) and the solenoid (was replaced 2018) or just the solenoid?
I'm hoping just the solenoid because cash is a bit tight these days.
Thanks in advance.
