damn starter died...
so was gone all day out with a friend, we get back to his place and im about leave to go home and i try starting the miyaya and nothing =(
my alternator started going bad recently but the battery was good. we jumped the car and it still wouldnt even try to crank. All auxiliary worked so batt was good like i said. dam thing..looks like i,ll just go out and buy a new starter and alternator just to make sure. sad thing is im broke haha:facepalm: newb question: anyone know how to test a starter IN THE CAR..these things are a bitch to r & r |
why test it in the car? its so easy to take off.
Mine died too actually. I took it off and trying to get it working. If not the local junk yard has one for 35 bux. |

tap on it with the handle of a hammer or a broom stick or something and see if it'll let you start.

the handle is longer and you dont need a hard hit.

Mine went bad a couple months ago, actually the alternator and battery bit the dust around the same time too (bad alt killed the bat). Theres literally 3 bolts holding it on, they can be a bit of a pain to get at but just use a universal adapter and a long extension and it's cake. Alternately, always park on a hill and pop start you way into laziness.

Check your ignition switch...

Can Mazda starters be rebuilt? Honda and Toyota starters typically have rebuild kits.
|
I've got a free starter if you want it -- tried to sell it on CL to no avail. I live in Fremont.

thanks for the offer latch, really appreciate it but i picked up a new/rebuilt one from kragen for real cheap (50 smack a roonies =P)
