Hey i got a question, wondering if yall could give a little input.
car has been sitting a while after being towed home.
at first i thought it was the starter, have voltage at solenoid and voltage on ignition wire upon cranking(5v), changed starter out.
battery is good i get absolutely nothing when attempting to start.
My last guess is a bad ground strap

going to keep looking at it, could anyone give me some suggestions?
95 escort 1.9

does it turn over at all, or just make the click noise

does absolutely nothing, i dont even get the click.
but i do have power to everything else
forgot to mention the ignition is popped but thats never been a problem before, and i show voltage on the igniton wire when trying to start so i dont think thats an issue?

If you have 5v at the solenoid and 12v at the positive connection to the starter it has to be a grounding issue or you got a bad starter solenoid out of the box.

thats kinda what i was leaning towards. ill take a look at the grounds tomorrow, thanks for the help!

use boost cable to add ground directly to the engine

You sure that engine isnt seized
