Starter not engaging

[gamerdude3342002]

Ok so I recently found out about mods and changing up textures in my summer car. I installed a couple, (ute mod, new house and enable the apartments). I also changed the color of the gauge needles as well as the gauge cluster itself, halo headlights and a couple other things. After doing this, I load up the game and get in the car to find that the battery was completely dead (not sure how) I went to Tiemo's shop and bought a new battery. Then I installed the battery and turned the ignition. The radio turns on and the lights but when I turn the key to engage the starter, nothing. Not a sound from the engine. Every other electronic part works except the starter. I tried old game saves, someone else's game save and even disabling and deleting mods and that doesn't work. I used the editor to uninstall the starter and when I did so, I opened the game and the starter was on the ground. I moved my mouse over it and it said "STARTER" but I couldn't pick it up. Please help, Thanks

*sigh*

don't use MSCeditor to remove parts from the engine or really do anything with building or fixing the car, there is a lot of reasons, i can't be bothered to write them all for the fiftieth time.

your starter is broken, get a new one.

Sorry for annoying you. I'm just new at this. The issue happened before I used the editor to remove it. Honestly the only reason I removed it from the editor was to see if maybe uninstalling then reinstalling it would work. Also when I was on the editor, it said starter broken was false.

Do you have gas?

All fluids are filled up, I have power but it seems like there is no power going to the starter

the starter would have been worn but not broken, removing parts with msc editor is dodgy, it makes the game think parts are still attached, reinstall the part with the editor then remove it manually

I tried that but the game will not let me pick up the starter. Like it seems that it is stuck in place. I hover over it and it shows up but I left click to pick it up and it wont even move. Every other part moves except the starter. I even tried taking it to Fleetari but nothing got fixed. I have power but no power is going to the starter. It seems like the game thinks the starter is non-existent even though it is installed in the car.

BECAUSE you took it out using the editor, which is not a wise thing to do. play the game properly and you will have less problems. reverse your mistake by reattaching the starter in exactly the same way you detached it with the editor, then detach it legitimately and buy a new one from Fleetari.

Ok here's the thing though. This issue started happening before I made the "wise decision" to remove it from the editor. It happened after I installed a mod, and by mod I mean changing the gauge cluster needles. At this point the starter never engaged even with power and by this time I had not used the editor. This was all random. I then decided to use the editor to see if maybe removing it and putting it back in without me using the tools would help but obviously that did not change anything. (AGAIN TO CLARIFY: THIS ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE MY SMART SELF DECIDED TO USE THE EDITOR TO UNINSTALL THE STARTER. THIS STARTER PROBLEM HAPPENED RANDOMLY AFTER CHANGING A TEXTURE. ME USING THE EDITOR DIDN'T CAUSE ANY NEW PROBLEMS OR SOLVED ANY PROBLEMS) I've even tried different game saves to see if that would fix the issue and even uninstalling the game and my mods and still no solution. This video I have isn't even my game save and the starter still isn't engaging.
