Shop Talk

  • Check the starter solenoid positive (+) terminal for a loose connector or accessory wiring with damaged insulation.
  • Low voltage can be caused by a short circuit to ground, a short circuit to another wire in the harness, or a solenoid coil with a short circuit.
  • Inspect the engine block to chassis ground wire. It should be securely fastened to a clean, dry, conductive surface.
