Subject:      No voltage at starter?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

My van's starter doesn't seem to be working, but it actually is. The problem is that when I try to start it, nothing happens...no selnoid click or anything. I just put the starter back in after replacing the selnoid, so that's not the problem.

I can start it using a starter switch attached to the starter, so the starter/selnoid works, but the exciter wire (or whatever you call it) that triggers the selnoid isn't getting any power. That's why it will start when I use a starter switch.

What should I look for to fix this?

If you have any clues, please let me know ASAP since I'm trying to get this done TODAY.

Thanks Aaron Robinson aaronrobinson@gocougs.wsu.edu
