So I recently get done with my front bearing project and the car was running so smooth and nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) that I had that fear in the back of my mind about when it was all going to end. Well today I was coasting down mountain ave when the light changed so I down shifted into third, and it started. The starter is staying engaged with or without the key in. I pulled over and popped the lid and disconnected the negative terminal. Checked the wiring at the selenoid which looked normal, every time I reconnect the battery the starter engages and attempts to start the car. What do you all think? There is the obvious replace the starter but any other suggestions? I have a tow kit on it so I will try and get it home to take a closer look. Help!

I havent picked up the new switch yet, the website shows that NAPA has them. Here is the pic of the wiring. The red wire in the foreground is the yellow wire spade, the two large are on top with the ground on the bottom. The red wire is on the top spade.

Did you say it goes to the battery? If it is going to the pos post that is why your starter is staying on w/o turning the key. The big question is why is it there and what was the purpose intended for it? |
