Who did the work?

Maybe a connector somewhere got left unconnected after reinstall action.

Any codes thrown? Could help narrow it down if so.

When starter reconnected, was door, hood, trunk left open or was radio used for music. Could be simply battery! Worth a try.

I don't think it's a battery issue the battery has 12.25 volts and when cranked it only drops to 10 volts it ran when pulled out of shop and back in to replace a power steering line then nothing no codes everything else works but won't start

Check all connections again, make sure no pinched or broken wires and clean all grounds, especially those in the starter wire pack.

Click to expand...

Tell use [exactly] what maintenance had been performed since you picked it up and drove it home from the shop.

It dosn't sound to me like it's anything the shop did. It sounds to me like you got it home, did some more [stuff] and then this issue appeared.


Is this correct? What maintenance did you perform after you got it home?

Could be battery,starter,ignition switch,or wires.
Start by giving her a jump start,and if she still clicks then tap on the starter while turning her over.
Let us know how it goes.
