Volkswagen: 73 VW Bug wont start, vw bug, power car


Question
Quit starting, replaced starter, starter still isn't getting power.  Car will run when push started.  Don't think it's battery terminals.  Tried to cross over the solenoid, no response.  what could it be?  thanks

Answer
Either the battery is not properly grounded,  the positive wire to the starter (from the battery) is bad.  

Or, you got a second bad starter.

If you crossed over the solenoid and it's not running, those are the only components that can be faulty in that system.

(unless your battery is dead)

Good Luck,

Ron
