Eagle Starter Problem
I'm having a problem with my '95 Eagle's starter (Vision ESI 3.3; ND
starter). Any time it's damp out (it seems) the starter solenoid will simply click and not engage the starter, or simply give a little half hearted crank. I took it out last week and had it tested. It didn't turn up any problems, and I had they key it 15 or 20 times to make sure it didn't show up any issues. The Pep Boys tech who bench tested it mentioned he's had the same issue with his late 90's Intrepid, which likely has the same starter in it. He didn't come to a resolution either. While I had the starter out, I disassembled the solenoid and took the contacts out of it and cleaned them up They weren't horrifically corroded or anything, but I figured bare clean metal would get e better connection. I'm still having the same problem, and I'd like to try and resolve it before cold weather sets in. I'm thinking the next thing I'll do is replace the cables. I dont' think my battery is bad, because I just replaced it last fall, but I might have it load tested to rule that out. What's next? I see some notes on the solenoid contacts... Is there a way to know for sure whether the contacts are actually bad? |
