If your car is having trouble starting, it may be because there is a problem within the ignition. For instance, a loose solenoid connection might make it impossible to send a strong enough current from the battery to the starter. In such a scenario, you may hear a clicking or grinding noise when you attempt to start the car.
If you hear nothing at all, it is likely because the solenoid has been damaged by prolonged exposure to heat or water. Ultimately, you will need to have the solenoid replaced to avoid further damage to the ignition or other engine parts.
It is a good idea to have the starter tested before engaging in efforts to repair or replace it. This is because there are many other reasons why your car is struggling to start. For instance, the problem could be caused by a dead battery or corroded battery terminals.
