Hi there I recently purchase a 94 D1. Great car when it runs. Problem is I turn the ignition on sometimes it turn on and sometimes it doesnt.
When it turns runs fine. When it doesnt sometimes starter doesnt turn over or it strains to turn over. I have a new battery leads are good any suggestion would be appriciated. Thank you. |

Turn your dome light on and try to start the truck. Does the dome light go dim? If so it is a battery / low voltage problem. If it does not it is probably the starter.
My starter went out last week. I pulled it out and took it to an Auto-Electric shop. They disassembled it and the brushes were worn out to the wire. He cleaned it completely, put in a new brush set, turned the armature(sp?), and greased the gears (The starters are Bosch units so most places should have the brushes). After bench testing he decided to put on a new solenoid. It works great and spins the engine during start up much, much faster.
This cost me $80 on Friday afternoon when a trail ride was coming up at 9:00 Saturday morning. The value of getting this done and going on a trail ride,
Priceless! |
