Failure of an engine to Eccentric person when the chief is turned to begin may be due to a poor starter solenoid. Whether no movement of the solenoid plunger can be detected, supersede the particular procedure outlined in the vehicles service manual to safely remove the starter and appropriateness the next steps to "bench attempt" the starter solenoid.
Instructions
Bench testing a starter solenoid
Whether the ohmmeter reading from either front indicates an agape line, interchange the solenoid. Whether the solenoid plunger does measure, on the contrary the cranking is slow, the holy mess may be hovering resistence in the leading cranking course. Capitalization volt metre To gauge voltage Blop to determine if high resistance is present. Everyone winding must be checked separately. This is most easily done with the starter on the bench. Disconnect the massive connector between the solenoid and the starter. Connect one ohmmeter guidance to the switch (S) terminal. Connect the other margin to the terminal that was connected to the starter.
2. Later connect the ohmmeter leads from the (S) terminal to the solenoid instance.1. Disconnect starter from battery and disconnect battery cables. A starter solenoid has two windings. The voltage drop across the solenoid contacts is higher than specified, (0.3 volts), the solenoid must be replaced.
3. Replace the solenoid per the specific year model service manual and reinstall starter. Ensure battery cables remain disconnected to protect against electrical shock.
4. After starter is installed, reconnect wire leads to starter solenoid and starter if disconnected. Reconnect battery cables and check battery voltage (should be 12.5 - 14.0 volts). If battery voltage is low, charge battery before checking solenoid function. Make sure the vehicle is in the park position or clutch is engaged and crank the engine. Listen for grinding noise as starter is turning (stop if noise is heard). If noise is heard, check starter installation and ensure proper number of shims are in place. Engine should crank smoothly without grinding indicating that the solenoid is properly installed and functioning as designed.
