So i decided to park the car due to not being able to put a battery on the car, as soon as i connect it the car tries to start itself and then after its started the starter doesnt disengage and grinds the hell out of the flywheel, turning the key doesnt stop it only way to stop it is disconnecting the battery. Ive checked my grounds, starter is relatively new, ignition switch is new, battery leads are new. Anybody got any ideas?

probably have a sticking starter solenoid tap on it and try it again....if that doesnt work replace it

check the solenoid 1st, then if it still stays engaged then the starter bendix is bad. Yes; you can get a bad bendix on a new reman starter.

Ive replaced the solenoid i know its fine, pretty sure the starter is a reman. I guess the only thing i have left to do is put a decent starter on

Brand new box bad part. Suggest you disconnect the cable to starter at solenoid. Use DVOM to check voltage at terminal you disconnect. Little testing will save time and $$$

I have a DVOM but i dont understand how to test this problem

you replaced the selonoid...and its still doing it ?

or you recently replaced the selonoid...so your saying its new ?

because i have had it happen twice to me...and both times it was a bad selonoid

Well to be honest im on the 3rd solenoid, 3 starters and 2 ignition switches since buying the car. Is therereally that much of a chance of getting dud solenoids?

nitrous_bob

yes..... i smoked one in a week

borg-warner stock replacement

it still looked new enuff that after i replaced that one.... i returned the bad one so i had a spare in my glove box.

i always have a spare one now.

id check that first....thats my past experience

Intereing, i thought i was the only one having this bad of solenid luck, perhaps ill try a new one, if that doesnt work i guess its onto a new starter
