So I bought a new starter for the car. Part number 16300. Everything matches up, number of terminals, gears, etc. the original starter was removed by my son, but he neglected to tag anything, so I'm not sure if the wires are on the right terminals or not.
So mounted it a few minutes ago, and when we hooked up the positive to the battery, it begins to make a high pitched whining sound. I have to assume we hooked one of the terminals up incorrectly, but i don't want to move things around risking frying it.
thoughts?
Perhaps the gears on the starter are not engaging? If this is the case, would this cause the starter to just spin? Clueless here..
