Starter motor nightmare!!
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 12:52 am
I'm approaching the end of my teather with my starter motor.
Starting from the top... the car was running but stopped, a faulty starter motor was diagonosed, i got the existing one reconditioned and whacked it back on with a new battery, found that it wouldn't start but the solenoid only clicked initially but not everytime i turned the key.
After fiddling about with the connections on the back and snapping off one of the posts #!@! i ordered a new one and stuck it on... again same problem. I've tested all the wires connected to the starter and all are showing 12v, 8v and 2v with the ignition turned on.
Is there a fuse or relay that could have blown, possibly an earth i can check??
Any help greatly appreciated.
