I'm genuinely stuck right now because my 2014 Ford Fusion has decided it doesn't want to start anymore, and of course it happened at the most inconvenient time possible when I was leaving work late and just wanted to get home. When I turn the key, I hear a single click and then nothing, no cranking, no engine turning over, just that one click and complete silence, which from what I've read online sounds like it could be the starter motor or maybe the solenoid that's given up. The battery seems fine because all the lights and electronics work perfectly and the voltage reads normal on my multimeter, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. I've had a few people tell me it could be the starter motor itself that's failed, or it might be a wiring issue or a bad ignition switch, but I honestly don't have the time or the expertise to start diagnosing this myself. I really need to find a reliable workshop that can properly test the starter system and tell me exactly what's wrong rather than just throwing a new starter at it and hoping that fixes the problem. I work in the ICAD area and it would be so much easier to find somewhere nearby that I can have the car towed to without having to arrange transport across the city. A colleague mentioned that there's expert car starter motor repair in ICAD that he'd used when his truck wouldn't start, and he said they actually diagnosed it properly and fixed it same day. Has anyone here had starter work done locally and can recommend a place that does a proper job without overcharging? I'm kind of desperate at this point because I can't really afford to be without my car for days.
