[QUOTE="Olly the Ozbus, post: 312782, member: 3849"] Hi Zed, good to hear from you mate- hope all is well 8) I realised after posting my confused drivel what the test for the spade connector was doing :oops: But...................I do still see some weirdness! So, on the back of the solenoid there are the 2 main terminals (one with the live feed from the battery and one with a little earth strap to the starter motor itself I think) and the spade connector with the feed from the ignition switch...... If the I short the 2 terminals together the starter spins.....but, if I connect the battery feed to the spade terminal all i get is the click from the solenoid the same as when I try and start from the key :? So I thought it might be the feed from the ignition switch but this would suggest otherwise....to me it sounds more like the brushes (as dave suggested) if it earths through these when starting from the ignition switch but as may be clear my brain doesn't always work so well :mrgreen: Whadya reckon? At leats its at home nowthough- got a push start of some work mates :lol: Cheers, Olly [/QUOTE]
