My 97 12v isn't wanting to start when I try to do so the starter just clicks. It has two new batteries, new alternator, new starter all the fuses are good. And It's not cold I live in Texas so its not wanting to start when It's hot out.

 

Starter solinoid is toast or the starter motor is seized up ..

Might try to smack it with a dead blow hammer ..( DONT USE METAL HAMMERS ) you wont get your core charge if the casing is dented !!!

 

What causes it to seize up? Also my battery gauge is stuck at 12.

 

You may need to jusp the batteries for a bit ....

Dirt, sand, Moisture, ..... all the above

 

Can the starter solenoid be toasted even though It's new?

 

YUP happens all the time ..

Might wanna check to make sure there is power @ the trigger wire when the ignition is in the start position .. sometimes the relay goes bad too ..

 

I also failed to say that it'll run for a couple days then just stop then again for a few more days then it just completely stop last Saturday. This has been going on for about two weeks now.

 

Starter is likley not good

 

The starter is least then a week old.

 

*less.
