I know I just posted about this but I need to start over. I have come to the conclusion that changing the dashes probably has absolutely nothing to do with the cars problem. I checked every part number I could find and all were the same, including the wiring.
Ok here's the problem. When I try to start it I hear one clicking sound and a humming but can't tell where either are coming from. It does not crank or even try to do anything. Is it normal for the alarm light to flash and all dash lights to be lite up when starting?
I disconnected the alarm, no change. Cleaned battery cables and terminals, no change. Battery and cables have less than 500 miles on them. My shop manual says starter is bad.
Is it possible for the starter to go out the day I change the dash? Just seems too strange to be true. Does anybody know of a way to test to see if the starter is bad without messing with the starter? I have been having a starting problem lately but didn't think much of it. The car would always die on first start then on second start it would goto 1500rpm and stay running, I thought I just needed new spark plugs and wires.
