  1. Disconnect wire harness connector from ignition coil. On vehicles with manual transmission, depress clutch pedal to floor. On all models, turn ignition switch to START position. Starter should crank.
    NOTE: On vehicles with manual transmission, starter will not crank unless clutch pedal is fully depressed.
  2. If starter does not crank, check battery condition. Check for loose and corroded battery cables and starter wires. If starter still does not crank, unplug Black/White connector from starter solenoid.
  3. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal and solenoid terminal. Starter should crank. If starter still does not crank, remove starter, and check for internal problems.
