starter wiring


docc

Recommended Posts

I had the fine fortune to help fettle a Rorso Corsa recently. While the rear-set foot shifter needed a good bit of attention, the starter had to come away for good access.

 

That led to a full session of disconnecting/cleaning/*Vaseline-ing* the (loose) battery terminal stacks, (loose) ECU ground, main gearbox case ground, and the (loose) starter positive cable.

 

 

My early Sport doesn't have this wire. What the what? :huh2:

Someone suffered from "Startus Interuptus" so added a second button direct from the battery.

 

There should be just a single spade connector there, take the wire off.

That makes perfect sense.

 

I thought it odd that the spade connection on the solenoid itself is duplex. That appears factory, but no?

they added some sort of aux. starter system. 

My problem originated in the relay area.

thats why i carry a small screw driver so I can jump start it . 

I took my relay receptacles out .

Still have a broken wire I can not find

Andy,

         The most likely place for a broken wire is around the steering head where it is constantly bending back and forth, copper work hardens and becomes brittle.

To find a fault like that pull hard on each wire in turn, about 20 lb, if the copper is broken the insulation will stretch.
