1987 Supra Turbo Won’t Turn Over
Posted in Car Electronics | Asked on Apr 17, 2011This car normally starts with no probably and the starter sounds strong. Today it was snowing here in Washington. I drive to work like usual today. When I go back to my car and stick my key in the door the stock car security alarm goes off as soon as I turn the key. This is only supposed to go off if the car is forcefully opened without a key or if the battery is disconnected while the system is active. I get in and put the key in the ignition to stop the alarm. Alarm stops. I turn the key and nothing. I look and when I turn the key the Rear Light Failure Light, Engine Electrical Problem and Battery Discharge light come on. These lights come on when I attempt to start the vehicle but not while in the ACC position. The starter will not turn. I attempted to get a jump start but had the same results then as well. I was able to still turn on the radio or any other power options while this is going on.
I was thinking that maybe this could be a solenoid problem or a lose wire or maybe the starter. I wouldn’t think it was the starter because it sounded great this morning when it turned the motor over. Any thoughts or has anyone had this issue before? I checked the under the hood fuses and battery connections… they were good.
I already attempted to reset it by relocking the vehicle and then reopening the door with the key with no luck. When I lock the car now I do not notice the security light coming on to indicate that the alarm has been set as it usually does when I secure it.
So went back to the car. Got it to start. Saw a thread saying the passenger door lock solenoid can sometimes not operate properly which caused the alarm to go off. And when I was relocking and unlocking the car since the lock wasn’t functioning right, it wouldn’t reset the alarm. Had to lock it twice in a row and unlock it twice in a row. Fixed.
