ok moms car wouldnt start this morning.......its not the alternator, i tried to jump start it.........its not the battery took it to autozone and they tested it........its not the terminals i replaced them cause they looked crappy.......its not the starter had them check it too.........

when you crank it i can hear it hit the flywheel sometimes..........sometimes i cant........sometimes it will just start clickin on contact, but most the time it just hits the flywheel but wont turn it over like theres no juice in the battery......

now this car was poorly taken care of, and i mean poorly.......now i dont think the engine is ceazed, but it has always had a hard time turnin over and that thought just keeps comin back to me........

what do you guys think??

bad starter/solenoid. Bad wiring to the starter. Bad ground somewhere.

its not the started or solenoid........wiring is a maybe, a friend at work who knows a lot about cars said the terminals.......right when he said that i told him i changed him but the battery female end on the positive is still kinda dirty.......so hopefully ill clean that real good and it will be a go

well i finally got my battery out of mine to try and hers seeing as the bolt that holds mine down is rusted and wouldnt come out it just spins.......
dropped mine in, hooked it up, and it fired up........

so im thinkin the side terminals must be messed up because the girl at the autoparts store tested the battery on the top posts..........now this battery was bought from costco......seeing as the top posts still work, should the warranty still work though??

seeing as the battery is not working for your application (side terminals) but is meant for your application (blazer) the warranty on the battery should cover it. or at least i would think so.
