car wont start with the keys
there are for connections on the starter solenoid. these are:
1.) the + from the battery to the solenoid
2.) the earth from the starter motor ground to the solenoid
3.) the wire from the ignition switch ( when in cranking)
4.) the wire from the + coil.
Ok, there is an internal connection in the solenoid. This forms a closed circuit when there is current in the switch wiring( when cranking) and from the battery + side as explained above.
I have tested the current going to the solenoid from the switch and it gives a reading of 12.15 V. I have also tested the voltage from the battery[12.37V] and have found a good ground on the solenoid producing 12,37V.
The car will not start. The Solenoid is NOT faulty. I have removed the starter and the solenoid from the starter and it worked well when not connected to the starter motor.
The car will start if you bridge the + battery with the ignition switch(in cranking position). Therefore the starter
motor is fine. The car then starts. The ignition switch, battery, distributor and all wiring has been tested and works as per manuf. specs.
I dont understand why the starter motor doesnt turn when 12 V are going to the solenoid. when i bridge the wires it does.
PLEASE HELP !!!
