Starter Solenoid Does Not Click

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Starter Solenoid Does Not Click

Step Action Yes No
Schematic Reference: Starting and Charging Schematics 
Connector End View Reference: Power and Grounding Connector End Views
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2 Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Is the theft indicator flashing?		 Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Go to Step 3 
3 Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Does the starter solenoid click?		 Go to Starter Solenoid Clicks, Engine Does Not Crank  Go to Step 4 
4 Does the vehicle have an automatic transmission? Go to Step 5  Go to Step 8

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Place the transmission in Park or Neutral.
  4. With a scan tool, observe the TR Sw. or Transmission Range parameter in the transmission data of the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) data list.
Does the scan tool display Park or Neutral?		 Go to Step 6  Go to Range Selector Displays Incorrect Range

  1. Disconnect the transmission range switch.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the crank voltage circuit of the transmission range switch harness connector and ground.
  3. Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 Go to Step 7  Go to Step 10

    IMPORTANT: You must use 10 AWG wire for the fused jumper. Any smaller wire will cause too high of a resistance and a misdiagnosis will occur.
  1. Connect a 15-amp fused jumper wire between the crank voltage circuit of the transmission range switch and the starter solenoid crank voltage circuit of the transmission range switch.
  2. Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Does the engine crank?		 Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11

    IMPORTANT: Place the transmission in neutral and set the parking brake.
  1. Disconnect the clutch pedal position (CCP) switch.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the crank voltage circuit of the CCP switch harness connector and ground.
  3. Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Does the test lamp illuminate?		 Go to Step 9  Go to Step 10

    IMPORTANT: You must use 10 AWG wire for the fused jumper. Any smaller wire will cause too high of a resistance and a misdiagnosis will occur.
  1. Connect a 15-amp fused jumper wire between the crank voltage circuit of the CCP switch and the starter solenoid crank voltage circuit of the CCP switch.
  2. Turn the ignition to the Start position.
Does the engine crank?		 Go to Step 14  Go to Step 11 
10 Test the crank voltage circuit of the transmission range switch or CCP switch for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 12 
11 Test the starter solenoid crank voltage circuit for the following:
  • A short
  • A high resistance
  • An open

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 15 
12 Inspect for poor connections at the ignition switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 16 
13 Inspect for poor connections at the transmission range switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 17 
14 Inspect for poor connections at the CCP switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 18 
15 Inspect for poor connections at the starter solenoid. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 Go to Step 20  Go to Step 19 
16 Replace the ignition switch. Refer to Ignition and Start Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 20  -
17 Replace the transmission range switch. Refer to Park/Neutral Position Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 20  -
18 Replace the CCP switch. Refer to Clutch Pedal Position Switch Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 20  -
19 Replace the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement (2.2L (L61))  or Starter Motor Replacement (2.4L (LAT))  or Starter Motor Replacement (3.5L (L66)) .
Did you complete the replacement?		 Go to Step 20  -
20 Operate the system for which the symptom occurred.
Is the symptom still present?		 Go to Step 2  System OK
