Re: Bad starter?

Thanks guys. The battery, terminal cables and relay are all fairly new. I'll try the hammer trick first and go from there. I should have remembered that from back in my Chevy days ;)

Yes, clean and tight connections. However, I suspect the click is the starter relay and the lack of cranking is the starter SOLENOID being stuck.
The first thing I would do is deliver a nice firm rap or two to the starter with a medium size hammer, a breaker bar, or similar. Then try to start it.
Of course, and as always, I might be wrong.

Just tried firing up my 63 Polara for the first time in a few months. It's not turning over at all. It makes a 'click' but no starter action. The oil light and guages all do what they should. Across the terminals the battery reads 12.25 volts. I guess that's a little low, but when I connect a jump box to it, it makes no difference. Any advice? Bad starter or relay?

Thanks.
