Your problem from what I read is low voltage. Check your battery and cable ends and make sure you have good voltage, if not you will only get a click. Most often it is the most simple thing that goes over looked.

thanx for respond.....when i had replace the starter i had replace the Negative cable as well. The positive cable seems fine and i had check the voltage again and i got a reading of 11.90V, do u think that's too low ???? what had happened the wife went out to start the truck in the morning and just got a click. I found the poles very corrosive, clean them up and nothing still, another mechanic said the starter, so i replace it, still nothing : ) . I would try to put a booster on and change the positive cable and see if possible. but thanks a lot for the help.

You should have 12.5v with a good battery. Note: For general information, a weak
battery hurts gas mileage as the charging system works over time and will wear out the stater as it will get hot as it does not have proper voltage. A click when you turn the key is a sign of low voltage and I now wonder if your starter was indeed bad?

Well I boost the battery but still nothing and i did check the old starter and that's good as well. Don"t know what else to do on my own and i know for a fact the dealer is going to charge a hell of a lot.
Thanks for the help.

I would recheck the battery cable ends at the battery and insure the battery and all is well there before seeing a dealer. A cable can look ok, but yet fool; you!

It can only be a couple of things. Battery, starter, battery cables or a seized motor that wont turn. Are you getting power inside the car. I noticed you tried to boost the Navi. Did it click when you turned the key. Sometime a battery can be so dead it wont take a jump. My money is on the battery or cable.
Let me know. It sucks to take your care to the dealer because after that you have to fix your wallet.

I have a 2000 navi with all wheel drive, 4 low and 4 high. I dont use it very much but I tried it the other day in 4 high and when I put it back in all wheel drive it took about a mile down the road before it disengaged. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I too have had this happen and it was in a drive way with just a bit of and incline..so clearly there is something not right with this. I have always had to put on the emergency brake. Running boards is another issue..they started making a loud clicking sound apparently drivers side has slipped off....come on and expensive vehical as this..?? Need answers. Had brakes replaced a couple of months ago and now the steering began tight and jerky..but have to wait till Monday to take it in and have it looked at. I could have done better purchasing a mini van. I would like answers to my questions though. thanx

I am currently driving an SUV that I absolutely love for safety reasons to transport my children back and forth for school and many other excursions. But due to rising gas prices, but mainly the repair costs of this vehical I am considering to replace this with a mini van. So many features we absolutely love about this vehical but already serveral repairs too many from the beginning of purchase and they just keep comming. Many of these repairs are guessing games as for some reason signs and symptoms are usually unclear.
