I drive a 92 protege. I was giving a standard driving lesson, when, after a stall, the car wouldn’t start again. The battery was not holding a full charge, so I replaced it and the posts. I now get a much louder clicking sound, but the car still won’t start. I have successfully push-started the car, and checked the fuses. The car is old, but was running fine before the lesson, and gave no indication of trouble to come. Is the starter the only possibility, or does anyone know of another possible explanation?
If you can push start it then the issue is still betweent the battery, cables or starter. If you turn on the headlights ant try to start. Do the headlights dim? then the starter is kaput. if they don’t clean the cable ends. ground and positive at the battery and at the starter and frame.
