91.5 beater

Every once in a while i will get in my truck to start it and nothing happens and the whole truck still has power, dash warning lights, dome light, radeo, etc..., replaced the ignition feed fuse and starter relay, and nothing happened, it only does it like once every ten times i start it, it will start if i jump the terminals on the starter with a screwdriver, any comments???
Thanks, Kyle

Need contacts insidestarter. Very common issue. Local lat/start shop will have or cna install, unless he vows must rebuild to specs. Find another or look at suppliers supporting this site. JMHO

I have a warranty that will cover the whole starter but wanted to make sure that that was what it was before i dropped it off at dodge, Also when it doesn't start you can hear a little tick down by the fuse box, took the cover off the fuse box and held my finger on that big blue doohicky and when you hear the click you can feel it on that blue deal, you still think it is contacts??

Yes, it's the contacts where the plunger actuates. You'll probably find one thinner, more wore out than the other. Replace both of them (and possibly plunger) and your problems should go away!

Mine did that to....I think it was a $10-$15 fix and now mines like brand new....( guy at starter store also said very common)

I installed the heavy duty contacts and plunger from Larry B's and have had 0 problems. A very inexpensive and easy fix for this common problem.
