Click

[choll]

Looking for answers before I dig to deep. Yesterday my blazer starter started acting funny. Volts show high in green. Turn key all I get is a click, turn key off then forward to start it starts with half a crank. Batteries are new, voltage when running is 14.5 or a little more at both batteries. Voltage when off about 13v at both batteries. It does not do this alll the time, about 3 times in the last 12 starts. Any ideas??

Wiring at the starter or a bad starter at first look.

I agree. Loose connection at the starter or starter going bad.

Selinoid going bad. Check big frame ground cable.

Will take a look at all of them in the am

My vote is starter brushes worn thin, solenoid was first guess, but you guys beat me to it !

Let us know !

check your ground to the block too. Ive seen that get over looked to many times

When you changed to the 12v conversion, which starter did you install?

Also check the bolts on the starter. One of mine fell out, & I didn't know, thought batteries were going dead, turns out that the starter was hanging up, & I burned it up.

Mine does the same thing every now and then. Big CLICK, then nothing. Try again and it starts right up. I always thought it was a starter shim issue from reading in here. Whatever it is it jams up, then once the starter and solenoid is de-energized it figures itself out.
