- It sounds as if you have an internal short to ground at the switch, I recommend that you test the switch with a DVOM. Disconnect the + and - cables from the switch and test for continuity from the te

- I'm at wit's end over this starter pull cable. It gets hot enough to change the temper of the metal cable and make it very brittle. After a couple dozen pulls to start the car it snaps off right at t

- Mike, you don't have one of those repro solenoids do you? One with the white plastic end? I have not heard of any problems with them other then the color being wrong but maybe you have a short inside

- do you have an extra starter or solenoid switch to swap out? I think I would continue with process of elimination from there. Gerard -- Please visit Four Points Travel - Discount Online Internationa

- it's the solenoid! the pull cable should have no current through it. if it were a bad ground it would heat up the throttlecable or the spedo cable or the choke cable. but, the starter pull cable shou
