1998 Discovery Starter clicks
#11
All good information, thanks everybody. The wife treated me to Japanese Steakhouse last night, so clearly, I did not get to the installation. I will be putting it on tonight.
In regards to the solenoid; Yes, I agree. Its likely just the solenoid because the plunger/gear/motor works a-okay when given a live feed via jumper. It is the solenoid that was clicking.
Honestly, Ive never really thought about only changing out the solenoid. I figure for the time and effort of getting in there, I might as well swap the whole unit.

97 range rover starter is clicking
I have a 97 range rover and it was running fine then I shut it off then now the starter is clicking bought a new one and still nothing
Okay, Good afternoon everybody...
I have just a quick one to run by yall.....
So I did a front brake job last Wednesday and went to take her for a spin... I get in, turn the key and hear the starter give a single click. I got under her and beat the starter with a hammer and still, just a click.
Okay, I leave the ignition in the "On" position and run a jumper from the battery to the starter solenoid and she starts right up. That evening she starts and stops a few times without any problems. The next day, she starts and stops again around the house okay so I take her for a drive and come back home. Now the starter just clicks again. I was once again able to get the starter to actuate via a jumper wire to the solenoid but afeter turning her off, she will not start via the igniton switch anymore.
This has got to be a straightforward starter problem, right? Well, starter or solenoid, Im gonna replace the entire starter unit but thought Id throw it out there for any words of wisdom before going for it.
What say you, good people?
