Well hell. Got myself a new battery, tested the voltage in a few places-at brain using the 3 prong lead, at starter) tried to check from ignition to brain while cranking, but couldn't figure out which post it was.
Installed Nippondenso starter (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-911-MINI-STARTER-IMI-PORSCHE-912-914-% 20930_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33576QQihZ012QQitemZ220006680668QQrdZ1QQsspagen ameZWDVW) Thanks Dr. Evil... Checked voltage, always hot, made sure everything was plugged into the right place... yes. Got lots of lights and a damn loud stereo volume, but not even a click from the starter. Just.... nothing, zip, nada. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Dude, what's up with my car? |

Here's a diagram I drew of the starter a while back....
 You can put a spade connector on a long piece of 10ga wire, plug it on to the starter in place of the yellow wire, and with the car out of gear, touch it to the positive battery post. If it cranks, then you have a problem with the start circuit in the wiring harness. Is this a 74? If so, check the big brother relay under the passenger seat. |

When my husband was checking the voltage after I swapped the starters, he was like.. are you SURE this was how you were supposed to do the wires? Is this one always supposed to always be hot? I said ... Dude, this is how it was on the old one, so I put it back the same and probably yes, that one comes from the battery...and here lemme get my book.... Man I hate Haynes. They had zip. Well after digging around the wiring diagram it made sense but damn. This guy is a 72 so I've been assured I don't have to take my seat out... I will be checking everything out voltage wise that I missed last time (yellow wire) and see what I can find and maybe do the bypass test *wince* Would hate to think the Solenoid is dust since it IS a new starter. *grumble* Anyway, THANKS!

Carrie Glad I could be of help... I wouldn't climb under the car and jump the solenoid. I would use the wire I described. Its safer, you aren't under the car with the starter turning. Get it running and bring it to the Atomic Ramble. i would love to meet you and your husband. |
