07 gs350 no start
I just started my car and I made a weird grinding noise like when you try to start a car that's already running, it started after the grinding but now after I killed it and tried to restart now nothing but a slight buzzing sound. I'm thinking maybe a starter, i checked the battery voltage and its at 12.45v ,I've searched the forums and can't find anything on the starter location to try and bump it and see if I can get it to disengage and maybe start. Would love a DIY guide our any input on suggestions, thanks in advance.

I have no clue what it may be exactly. But sounds like it's most likely the starter. When you try to turn your ignition on a key car that's already on, that's EXACTLY what it sounds like lol. I know from experience smh. Maybe you can go on mylparts.com and look up a diagram. Look up the starter for your car and study the picture. Best advice I can give you. That'll help you imagine and locate the starter then you can attempt tapping it or changing it from there. Good luck bro I hope your problems are less then what your anticipating and that your on the road asap! GodBless!

Thanks alot guys but I think I may have lucked out. It seems there is a starter wire that runs behind the alternator right under the exhaust manifold and it has a connector that came unplugged. I reconnected and it started right up. Appreciate the insight

Check that the connection doesn't have sulfate from the fact it wasnt properly connected, i would clean the terminals well with contact cleaner to avoid future problems.
