Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues characterized by no sound when turning the key. These problems may indicate a faulty starter, as some owners have noted signs such as clicking sounds, no cranking, or the engine cranking but failing to start. Additionally, a lack of sound when turning the key could suggest the starter is not engaging properly, potentially leading to clicking noises. Owners have found that inspecting the starter for visible damage or corrosion is essential, as a faulty starter may require replacement. Furthermore, a clicking sound without the engine turning over might also point to a fuel delivery issue. It is recommended that owners listen for clicking sounds and check the starter motor's connections for corrosion or loose wires, as these could contribute to the starting problems. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, seeking professional assistance is advisable for an accurate diagnosis and solution.
