So does it give you any more trouble or is it working normally? The mag switch will go slowly like that as the contacts get crappier. |
No, it hasn't given me any more trouble (knock on wood).

A relay IS an electromagnetic switch... as is a solenoid. But, since you were nice enough to correct "our" terminology error... here is a starter SOLENOID installation guide from Mitsubishi's H/D site. http://www.diamond-gard.com/docs/Sol...stallation.pdf Guess you're gonna have to contact mitsu and ask them to correct their service literature? |

If the starter does NOT spin when you jump the 2 large terminals, it also will NOT spin when you jump power to the little "S' or "Sw" terminal. |
just thought but did you check if the hot wire where it bolts to the starter, that nut can rattle lose, in about the time you say you had the starter replaced. it can get relly lose and catch nine out of ten times, with no trouble, just a thought, had it happen to me on a brand new truck

It's simple logic:
Turn the key to start, see if there's 12V to the starter relay(usually on the firewall). Then test if the relay is clicking, and the starter is getting juice to start. Most new starters also have a relay right on the starter. Check to see if it's giving juice to the solenoid. So to simply say it's the solenoid because it works if you jump it is foolish. There are many possibilities between the key and the solenoid. The key switch, truck starter relay, and the relay on the starter that picks the solenoid. Or a broken/frayed wire anywhere in between. The good news is key switches don't usually go, unless the truck is really old. Starter relays can go, and they're cheap and easy to fix. I'll bet cash the starter relay is working fine, as is the solenoid. What I've actually done is put a couple of diodes in a few select spots, so if anything goes I instantly know what's wrong. Another thing, does the starter have overcrank protection? |
REV? What was the problem? Did you find out what it was? Did you get it corrected?

Aaaah, nope, it looks like they know what the IMS (magnetic switch), and solenoid is. The problem is when you are diagnosing starting circuit problems and call the mag switch a solenoid when it is not the solenoid. Why change the names of things to create confusion. Call it what it is. If you wanted your boy to feed the dog would you ask him to feed the chickens? No, you'd ask him to feed the dog! Here's some for you to ponder: automatic vs. automated manual vs. mechanical These confuse many a driver, et tu, Bob? |
