I have a 95 Saturn that just quit on me. When I crank it, it clicks just once. I'm thinking starter...

Question

Like I say, when I try to start it, it clicks just once and nothing else happens. I'm thinking starter and/or starter solenoid switch. Tried to jump it, no go. Am I right in what I'm thinking?

Answer 1

Yeah, you're on the right path. If it's not the starter, which it probably is, it's gonna be a solenoid/relay.

Answer 2

You're thinking correctly (needs a starter or starter contacts).

Solenoid is built into starter.Contacts are way cheaper than replacing assembly.
