  • are the starter on a 95 aspire difficult to remove.

    i turn the key and nothing happens but if i apply power directly to the solenoid it clicks but the motor doesn't turn and end engine doesn't turn over. so i am hoping it is a bad starter.

    Check the fuses? There are three in the engine compartment, "fusable links", on the driver's side strut tower. There is a fuse panel under the dash on the driver's side. Assume when you insert the key the lights on the dashboard console come on? Headlights work when you turn them on?

        The starter motor is located on top of the transmission and is easily accessible for removal and testing..

          fixed it . the previous mechanic had the negative and positive hooked to the battery post on the starter and the coolant fan was plugged into the plugin for the a/c now it cranks over about one turn and fires right off not to fix the other problems.

            An 80 AMP fuse is complete overkill for that system. The easiest thing to do is swap the Fusible Links out with Long Leg PAL Fuses. 30-40-30 or Pink Green Pink
