List Members~~ I turn over the key and get a click or moan from the starter motor (BTW it's not the battery). Beyond looking at connections for corrosion, which I will do tonight, or replacing the starter altogether do I have any other options? Bus Boys sell "replacement bushings" and also a "hard start relay kit" that sends power directly from battery to starter bypassing the ignition switch. Has anyone had experience trying one or both of the above? Thanks so much. We WERE planning on taking the Vanagon on a road trip this Friday. Of course, I still want to!! Matt Heydon '87 Weekender |
