4.8is no start, only one click.
Today I got the starter replaced with a new one but that didn't fix it. Still the one click. Old starter did test good at the Auto zone. Battery terminals are measured at 12.7 volts, the grounds measured the same. There is significant power draws from the battery after a couple of tries. Any ideas what else I should look into from here? EWS, DME? How do you properly diagnose those modules? Thanks! |

The "click" symptom usually indicates a severe voltage drop when the battery is connected to the starter and a high current is drawn. This is normally caused by a bad battery with a high internal resistance but since you have eliminated this, I'd say you have a bad joint in the cable running from the battery to the starter solenoid. Or a bad starter solenoid, but I assume that was changed along with the starter (they are usually sold as a unit).
First thing to check would be the BST (battery safety terminal) - it may have come apart internally. Next check that any joints (X6404 & X7163) in the main positive lead that runs from the BST to the starter solenoid are clean and tight. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...-motor/bEud1CV My guess? Bad BST....

You can run a jumper cable from the battery to your B+ to determine if the battery cable is at fault. I read there is a connection at the B+ that can be the fault also.

Unfortunately I have ruled out the BST. It doesn't seem to be detonated and I do get voltage from it, I can also charge the battery from the jumping terminals under the hood so I think the BST should be fine. So the situation now is that I'm not getting a charge from the alternator, and no voltage to turn over the starter when turning the key.

A voltage test does not rule out the BST - a voltage test requires near-zero amps - a crank requires over 200A.
Put a jumper cable from the battery+ to the jump terminal under the hood or the large + terminal in the trunk. If the car starts, the BST or cables are bad.

I don't think I have a jumping cable that long but I will definitely get I tested as soon as I can.

It seems like a bad connection at the B+ somebody on the forum recently had that exact problem.

Do you have the link or key words so I can search for it? Thanks!
