Chevrolet: 1998 Camaro, fuse boxes, starter solenoid
QuestionThank you for taking the time to help me. My son has a 1998 Camaro 3.8 automatic. I turn the key and nothing happens. The instrument panel and lights work. No dimming of the light when I try to start. There is a soft click sound up by the fuse boxes located inside front left fender. I have check the lead to the battery and to the fuse box. I read an article about a 98 with a clutch and it mentioned something about checking fuses for the starter, ECM and Ignition. I am not sure where they are located. Covers for the fuse boxes on the engine side is missing. I do not know if this is the starter, solenoid or something else. Could you help. Thank you. Al
AnswerHi Al,
I believe yo have a bad starter motor. If it was the fuse, there wouldn't be any clicking sound; but if you want to replace the fuse, it is in the larger fuse box.
Another possibility is the solenoid; test it by having someone turn the key to the start position and listen for a click from the solenoid module.
Hope this helps you!
Good luck!
