so i have a ford maverick 1977 an its not turning over its not the starter so any help on this wood be grate

 

Could be the battery...start there.

 

batterys good alternator checks out alright too

 

Make sure the connections to the battery are clean. if they are...next step is to check the starter cylinoid located right next to the battery. Can you hear it clicking as you try to start the car?

 

yea had that yesterday changed it now its sorta maken a humming nosie

 

Is the starter spinning or clicking? Try jumping the solenold with the key on? Motor locked up and won't turn?

motor turns an starter was bench tested an passed i was thinking cood be wires but idk

 

Check all your battery cable connections! Terminal ends on the battery, ground cable to the engine block, both solenoid connections, connection to starter, should be taken apart and wire brushed or sanded to clean, bright metal!
Happy Thanksgiving

 

So the switch is humming...or the starter?

How do you know the battery is good?

 

Do you have a ground strap between the engine and frame

 

i know basics really its my first car i got it cheep an been working no it so most stuff dont really no but batterys good cause got it like 3 months ago an it was working fine up to 2 days ago then no its just got this weird humming nosie when i start to star it

 

so im just tryen figger what i shood be looking at or what i shood try to do to get it running again

 

I would verify that it is the battery. Try the battery in another car and see if it will start that car.

 

i just popped my battery charger on it reads good

 

just popped started off cleaned it up an cleaned other stuff put back on an now we got a grinding nosie it sounds like its on passanger side of motor
