Will a bad starter spin but not engage?
When the starter motor starts to spin, it ratchets out so the drive gear will engage the flywheel and crank the engine. If the drive mechanism is damaged or hung up, the motor may spin but not crank the engine. Regardless of what type of starter you have, it will have to come out for further inspection.
Why does my car not start when I Turn on the ignition?
In the case of broken wires, electrical current from your battery will not reach the starter. If the wires are in place and still your car will not start, then you must replace the starter solenoid.

What does it mean when your car starter is not working?
Start your engine and listen carefully to the sounds it is making. If there is a loud click, it means the starter relay is working correctly. A weak click means there is a loose connection. Check the wires that connect to your starter solenoid and tighten them.

Why does my starter not disengage from the ignition switch?
You want to make sure that the power does not stay on once your ignition switch is released. This continuous power to the starter can cause it not to disengage. To make sure it’s not the solenoid; check the power on the posts behind the solenoid by testing the wire coming from the ignition switch, using a voltmeter. It should indicate zero.
