Is my car's starter broken?
Symptoms:
Battery is fine, fuses are fine. Everything lights up.
When I turned the key, the headlights didn't dim at all.
When I turned the key the first bunch of times, there was a click and the engine slowly turned over as if the battery was dead/low. Now there's just a click.
No corrosion on battery, nice connection.
Took it to autozone and they ran 3 tests: battery, starter, and alternator and all were ok.
Pattern of working - I've tried on 10 occasions to use my car today- 1:started fine, 2:fine, 3:Turned over slow no start, 4:started slow but ran, 5:tested fine at autozone, started slow but ran, 6:Turned over slow no start, 7:Click, no turn over, no start.
Car is a 2008 Honda Civic sedan. Just had bumper replaced & they didn't reconnect the lights properly but then fixed it. Problem appeared after that. Related electrical issue maybe?
What do you think is wrong and how much to fix the likely issue?
I'm inclined to believe a pinched wire or a bad ground.
Just A wild guess.
Could be a starter solonoid.

Please and thank-you starter works fine when hooked up to a battery off the bike. what gives?
- I have a Honda GSV 190 mower engine with a broken starter rope and stud stuck in starter that I can't remove. Any ideas would be great When removing the nuts holding the recoil starter in place the nut on the front of the starter is stuck. When I try to remove it the whole stud come out of the engine. Leaving the engine cover stuck to the starter preventing me from replacing the rope. I have tried everything I can think of to remove it with no luck. Heres what it looks like. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/bolt-stud-h425mm-p-554740.html
- After replacing our car battery, our remote starter just turns and turns without actually starting the car? My wife has a 2010 Honda Fit and we just had to replace the battery. We got a remote starter installed from Best Buy in either 2010 or 2011. But after the recent battery replacement, the remote starter responds by just cranking and not starting. It does like three sets of cranking before stopping. I don't remember the brand of remote starter, but anyone have any insight of what I need to do?
- Ways to fix broken speed odometer? 2003 Honda Civic Si: thru research I found out it originally came with 15 inch rims, however I bought it with 16's on it. Also it has an 04 RSX tranny 6 speed. AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK! I'm getting juice to the adapter for the speed sensor, and bought a brand new sensor thinking that was the case. But nope. Still no speedometer?! Any ideas on other ways to trouble shoot the issue?! Suggestions welcomed!
