Re: IML: 62 not cranking/thanks-working now



It was the starter relay, and maybe a few loose wires. It's running just fine right now.

Thanks to everyone for all of your comments and helpful leads.

We're ready to go cruising tomorrow, on a beautiful Summer day in Atlanta.

Check the wiring!

It's important to note that the starter kept running even after the ignition was turned off. This happens if the starter is short circuited, and could be caused by the wiring coming into contact with the exhaust manifold and burn through the insulation. In my case, I disconnected the battery in order to make it stop.

Inspect the wiring between the starter relay and the starter. I will be surprised if you don't see a problem there. Also, once the engine started with the starter still engaged, damage may have occurred to the starter that could require replacement. By running off the ring gear, depending on how long it went on, damage may have occured to the starter itself.

I started up my 62 Imperial Crown convertible last Sunday, and when it started the starter kept running. So, I clicked the key on and off a few times, and after a few trys, the started dis-engaged and all was OK.

Pulled in out of the garage, turned it off. A little later took the car out to dinner. Had dinner, started fine after dinner.

Drove back home, about 15 minutes., backed it into the garage, Turned it off. Then tried to start again and nothing happened. The red light, oil pressure, came on, and the guages worked, but not even a grunt from the starter.

Is the solenoid fried? Any ideas - suggestions?

thanks,
Bob

62 & 63 Imperials
