Trouble starting the car

[youngfab59]

Hey everyone, I'm having problem with my 8G when I go to turn it on. Sometimes it starts with no problem but then when it doesn't start I have to repeatedly turn the key until it decides to turn on. When I turn the key all I hear is a click from the engine bay and the lights on my cluster get dim. Also once the car starts, there's a weird noise that follows. I took a video of the problem including the clicking, the lights dimming, and the weird noise once the car start. Thanks for the help.

My car used to do that until I replaced my ignition switch and starter.

yeah it sound like the starter is sticking and the flex plate is grinding on the starter wheel.

Replace starter and you should be good. A brand new solenoid is usually very expensive, so just get a starter
