How can you tell if a starting problem is a starter gone bad or something else in an 1983 Alfa romeo spider with manual transmission?

To determine if a starting problem in a 1983 Alfa Romeo Spider is due to a faulty starter or another issue, first check for signs of power, such as dashboard lights illuminating and a clicking sound when turning the key. If there’s no response at all, inspect the battery and connections for corrosion or looseness. If the lights dim and you hear a click, the starter may be faulty. Additionally, testing the ignition switch and ensuring the clutch safety switch is functioning can help identify the root cause.
