Hi all,
due to starter problems i have decided to replace the starter and the separate solenoid by a new starter from sierra which combines also the solenoid.
After installing ( Batterie plus to big terminal, the yellow red wire to terminal S, the terminal marked with R is not connected) have now a strange condition,
When i try to start, the new soleniod starts to click but nothing happens. After furter investigations if figured to followig out, if i connect straight plus with the S terminal the starter cranks --> so solenoid is ok. If i switch the key to the start position i will get also power, but maybe to less to start. A test light indicated power. so i started to connect direct from the ignition switch with a wire of 2,5 qmm to the S terminal and started to crank, and this works:
Does anybody knows something similar to this , that based on the starter the current wiring is not big enough
Thanks for any feedback straight from Germany
regards
Juergen
