Hi, Sometimes ago i sent a message on the list about starter problem when engine is hot: difficulties in "engaging" starter (seems like a dead battery). But yesterday the car wouldn't start: no "clicking" noise in solenoid (only clicking noise was the starter relay). So after some knocks on starter w/o results i remove the starter from car and wired it with cables: no motion of solenoid when i touched the solenoid plug and no revolution of starter when i touch the starter terminal end (the whole bolted to solenoid). I remove the solenoid and tried the starter alone: no revolution ! I remove the end plate, look at the brushes (good), clean the collector and try again: starter works so i put another solenoid which is good. I install the starter, starts the car 2 or 3 times, make a small trip and park the car. But today i try to start the car: same problem than yesterday !! I test the solenoid i removed yesterday on another starter.. and it works .. So problem is in the starter: seems that the circuit is open in the starter and that the culprit is the starter itself and not the solenoid.. Does someone knows what could happen in the starter ? -- Philippe COURANT (Pau, France) Imperial 57 Crown convertible Buick 58 Roadmaster sedan - American Car Club de France (ACCF) : http://www.accf.com - Chrysler Imperial France : http://www.ifrance.com/c-i-f - Cadillac " Standard of Excellence " : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-cad - SportsCars : http://www.ifrance.com/accf-sprtcar
