Starter Solenoid.
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 12:33 pm
My car wont start. When the key is turned a single click comes from the starter relay. I swapped that over but it still does it.
Im registering 12v at the starter motor on the positive lead from the battery but it wont turn.
If I arc across the terminals on the starter itself the starter motor spins but doesnt engage the flywheel. This makes me think its my solenoid.
My questions are: Is a solenoid rebuildable? If so, whats needed? Otherwise where would I find a replacement solenoid for a 4AGE corolla motor?
Is there something obvious Im missing? Ive cleaned and inspected all contacts and replaced the earth lead from the battery with a thicker one so Im definitely getting a good earth. The battery itself also seems fine.
