Rockfrog Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Just replaced the battery leads and the chassis ground ... now I just get a click. Went through all leads and sanded clean, tried another battery (this one started a 460/c6 combo recently so it's good). I tried jumping the solenoid and the starter spins freely ... I think I have to get a second body to hold the key in the start position correct? To get it to actually start? The motor will not crank, I just get a click. Are the relays easily found, or can I swap in a Ford style relay if needed?
Rockfrog Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Would the relay be a logical assumption? It Original equipment, Or should I look at the starter ... getting a relay order in for this afternoon, and they do have a starter on hand. I just checked voltage at all grounds and leads and I have a steady 12.37V even all the way to the firewall to block ground (replaced that with 4ga lead). The Battery leads are Store jobby 4ga leads. And again I have a steady 12.37V at the starter solenoid stud, and the relay. I did get it to turn over for a second but it hasn't so much as twitched since.
Rockfrog Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 bit more info ... I get a click at the starter solenoid with the lead on the relay coonected, unhook it and no click. so I'm guessing my solenoid is the culprit here? Just happened to not like the changes?
Rockfrog Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 OK, new starter and she running again. Going to replace the relay and keep the old one as a spare anyway.
