\"1995<\/p>\n

I have a 1995 Chevy Blazer 4dr 4wd 4.3L V6 Vortex. I turn ignition on and get a single click from starter no crank…is this indicative of a bad solenoid? Engine was started an running just prior, switched off and no restart…battery<\/a> is new, ignition harness replaced with new OEM<\/p>\n

\n

A single click from starter<\/h3>\n

The click you hear is the solenoid doing its job. So not a bad solenoid, but a worn brushes inside the starter. So you will need to replace the starter. Sometimes you can get lucky and have someone smack the starter with a hammer while you hold the key in the start position to get it to start one last time. I would only recommend this if you need to get it to a different location to work on it. Labor time<\/a> is about an hour for this job.<\/p>\n

Starter Replacement 4 Wheel Drive (1995-1997 Models)<\/h4>\n
To Remove:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.<\/li>\n
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove the differential carrier shield if equipped.<\/li>\n
  4. Disconnect the engine mounts and raise the engine.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove the transmission mount and support the transmission.<\/li>\n
  6. Remove the starter mounting bolts. Rotate the starter for access and disconnect the wires from the solenoid.<\/li>\n
  7. Remove the starter from the vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    To Install:<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Position the starter near the engine and connect the wiring.<\/li>\n
    2. Install the inside starter mounting bolt loosely and position the shims if equipped.<\/li>\n
    3. Install the outboard starter mounting bolt. \u25e6Tighten the mounting bolts to 32 lb ft (43 Nm).<\/li>\n
    4. Lower the engine assembly onto the engine mounts.<\/li>\n
    5. Install the transmission mount and engine mounts.<\/li>\n
    6. Install the differential carrier shield if equipped.<\/li>\n
    7. Connect the negative battery cable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
