Engine won't turn over or crank but lights, radio, etc come on
I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the starter has gone out. When I turn key all dash lights, radio, etc come on. Headlights, interior lights come on anytime. I can hear fuel pump noise, no clicking sounds from ignition…
I'm certainly not a mechanic AT ALL, though I have a decent idea as to how most of it works, more or less.
I've researched online and weeded out battery,alternator, and ignition switch.
What really makes me think it's the starter is that the wires going from the starter have apparently caught fire at some point, because the black wires around the colored wires are charred and leave black soot on your finger.
Is it possible the starter got too hot and caught the wiring on fire??
Could it be the wiring itself and the starter is still good??
