Maybe someone can help. I am having problems starting my SeriesV. When
I turn the key, the solenoid clicks but nothing happens with the starter.
After checking all my connections going from the solenoid to the starter,
the problem got even more interesting. Now when I turn the key one of the
wires at the solenoid smokes big time.
Having limited electrical knowledge, I have been playing with a volt/ohm
meter. I have discovered that I have continuity between the terrminal of the
starter and the starter
body. I also have continuity between the starter terminal and any engine
ground. I am thinking that the starter is shorted. Am I on the right track?
If I am, it gets more interesting because the car has headers, making the
starter removal next to impossible without removing the headers or trying to
get the starter apart while mounted.
Thank you in advance for your help.
