Just curious, has anyone seen the starter switch fail because of the contacts having too much current running through them? I've seen many of them fail, but it's usually because of a crack in the plastic casing.
The starter switch is only passing enough current to trigger the solenoid. The solenoid acts as a relay for the starter. I'm with McMark - adding another relay for the solenoid is a band aid. I know, it works. Not dissing it. But personally I would rather clean up the resistance problems than add another widget. I removed the extra relay the PO added to my car and cleaned things up. And my car always starts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I've seen many of them fail, but it's usually because of a crack in the plastic casing. Have you ever looked at the contacts in a broken switch and seen the black from arcing? Lots of heat generated thru that plastic piece too. I have a car that supplies 12 VDC to the starter, but won't kick the starter (and it has a new switch). Changed solenoids ... same problem. I put the Ford solenoid in ... works perfect. It's the only car I have used the "bandaid" on ... just got tired of cleaning contacts to no avail. |
