Change the brushes in the starter.  By now, it is worn off.

Hi all:

1987 - Vanagon Syncro

Occasionally when I turn the ignition switch to start up, I get all the
dash lights, etc. but no ignition at the starter.  I don't hear any sounds
whatsoever.  I did notice a very momentary delay some month or so ago, but
now the symptoms are becoming chronic.

I've had this problem addressed earlier by replacing the ignition switch,
but the problem is back.  Without fail, if I wait a while, could be
seconds, minutes, or hours, the car will start pretty as you please.

If I don't have any time to waste, it will push start quite easily.

thanks!

Eric (Colorado)
