Looking for some guidance on trying to confirm if my starter motor is bad
or if the problem is elsewhere. The car is a '62 TR4. The starter motor
and battery where replaced about one year ago. When I turn the key, I hear
a click from the starter solenoid, but nothing from the starter motor.
I have taken off the starter solenoid, cleaned the terminals that are
connected to the solenoid, and recharged the battery. I turned the key and
again a click from the solenoid, but nothing from the starter motor.
I also cleaned the battery terminals including where the positive ground
wire is bolted to the car body. I am wondering since there was some
corrosion, and I did not clean all of it off before reconnecting the
battery terminal that this could be the problem. If it is the problem,
would'nt I find a hot wire elsewhere that is taking up the current from the
battery when I try and start the car?
Any suggestions on how to find the problem and bench test the starter is
appreciated.
Regards,
Steve Bonner
