As a continuation of a previous thread.
My starter turns over constantly. Just got my motor back from a rebuild. During the rebuild, I cleaned the engine bay and the voltage regulator board. Now after I got the motor back, the starter wants to turn over all the time...even with the key off. Here is what I found while scrounging for answers. I discovered I cut some wires while I was doing some body work. These were wires going down the center tunnel. I have reconnected these wires (headlights didn't work, radio dead, etc) and most of problems are now solved. However, I still have the main problem of 12V going to the starter solonoid on the yellow wire all the time. I traced this back to the voltage regulator board. The #6 pin on the 12 pin connector on the voltage regulator is staying hot. I'm not sure why. I verified the ignition switch is fine. I traced the ignition switch to the to the 14 pin connector and did continuity tests with the key. All of this worked fine before I pulled my motor. Is there a possibility something went wrong on the voltage regulator board. I cleaned this during the down time of the rebuild. I can't figure out why the #6 pin on the voltage regulator board stays hot! Any help is always appreciated. Thanks. Scott |
