Hey so here's the story old starter died I replaced the solenoid and it still would only engage intermittenly, would catch about one in three. So now I'll be putting a new one in after work tonight.
Ok questions last night when I bolted it up and got it wired properly, after changing the oil ... I started the car and now my battery light stays on I just drove it to work I got there ok but lights are dim noticibly dim. What would cause the battery light?
I took off and re attached the grounds near the starter could that cause this?
For wiring on the starter its two to the big terminal and one to the little red?
Thanks in advance its a 1997 sunfire with the 2.4
Sorry for the long post
Sounds to me youre, youre starter wires are not hooked up correctly?, Was the battery light on before you put in the new starter?.
No battery light just came on after I put it in. How should the wires be
ok got the wiring figured out, wow felt like an idiot there
had the wire from the altenator connected to a ground......... there was my battery light problem ..... ya i know idiot
but thats what happens when two people work on a car and one bails midway threw
Thats awsome good to hear you got youre wiring figured out, Hey its ok ppl all makes mistakes.
Good job.
