Starter Problem?

[okpathfinder98]

The pathfinder does not kick over immediately,sometimes it takes a couple of times for it to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the starter brushes are worn and it needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

Could also be a loose connection, I was having a intermitant, sometime it would start or just go click, click... I think the longest I spent waiting for it to start was about 10 min.... Alway was able to get it to start.

 

I pulled the starter assuming it was bad, took it in to Shucks and had them bench test it, it was good much to my surprise...

 

So i cleaned all the connections between the Battery and the Starter, re-installed and it has been fine ever since....

I have had the same problem for the past 6 months....check this out, couldn't figure it out to save my soul finally figured it out.....3 starters and 2 alternators later....the factory And aftermarket alarm/remote start were draining the voltage from both of them{alternator&starter}.....disconnected both alarms and not a problem since...I didnt even have to be using the alarm for it to drain the voltage, wierd huh?
