I assumed that it possibly got internally contaminated from all the dirt and oil.Īfter replacing the starter… without checking to see if it had the correct voltages there… It was an A/C compressor on a Ford Ranger, and it made me feel like a dummy when I put a new battery and starter on and it still did not work.Īs you can see, the starter was caked in dirt and oil. I’ve only seen one time where a component on the drive belt system cause the whole engine to not turn over or slowly turn over. I took off the drive belt and spun all the pulleys to make sure nothing was locked up. I decided to check all of the things I thought were the issue. Something in the drive belt could be locked up to cause the engine not to turn. I immediately thought a few things were probably causing this issue. It did not crank, and the service manager ran out to tell me that a puff of white smoke came from underneath the car…. I tried to crank on it, and the lights dimmed but came back when I let off. With the key on, I could see all the lights on the dash light up, so I knew the battery wasn’t completely dead. The next thing I did was see if I could recreate the no crank/start issue. I didn’t want to crank and run this vehicle until I knew it had those things. Check the battery and starter.ĭiagnostics: The first thing I did was check to see if the vehicle had oil and coolant in it. The customer just wanted it fixed.įirst thoughts: Start simple. General Information: This vehicle was towed in with a no crank/start complaint.
