the starter and neurtral safety swich are good

KingWalter 13 February 2005 05:57:30
 I've been trying to find out why my car won't start. The battery sits
at 12 volts. The lights, radio, and wipers work. I tested the neutral
safety switch by starting it in neutral reverse. After that I tried
the starter bypass
I forgot to reconnect the power to the solenoid before the bypass.
When I did the bypass, I heard a loud click from the solenoid but
nothing from the motor so I thought the starter motor was bad.
After I noticed my mistake and I hooked up the starter correctly. I
connected the power wire to the starter and, when I hooked up the
positive battery wire, completing the circuit, the starter went off
immediately. The only way to shut it off was to disconnect the
battery.
The circuit board looked good but I can't test the electrical because I
can't hook up the battery. If I do then the starter will melt the
battery head, which it already did to an extent.

What did I break?

 wow, it's quite confusing now.

let clarify - the positive from the battery goes to one side of the solenoid
(big connection). Often there will be other wires (big or small) on this
terminal that power other parts of the car.
The other side of the solenoid (the other big connection that is) goes to
the starter motor.

To start the car, we take power and apply it to the smaller 3rd terminal on
the solenoid which will connect the 2 other cables together. (usually by
turning the key)

If you connect your battery and the starter motor goes, either your solenoid
is stuck, you have power to the 3rd terminal, or you have directly connected
your battery cable to the starter motor in effect.

The melting on your battery terminal are from a 'bad connection' while you
are trying to put on the cable you are arcing.

Remove the starter - using a set of battery cables - attach cables to the
battery 1st then to the starter: (-) side Attach to starter/solenoid housing.
Clamp around a bolthole. Now, support the starter so that it doesn't get away
from you -- (+) goes to large terminal. Nothing happens!! Right?

Next is to, again support the starter -- then attach a 12 gauge wire - goes from
large terminal to "S" terminal on solenoid! Starter solenoid levers starter gear
and spins the gear << this is what is supposed to happen! jar starter around a
bit and try again - still works -- starter is okay - is another issue!

A 2-wire connector - short the 2 wires together - use a jumper wire - an
additional wire!

I tested the neutral safety switch with a voltmeter. The voltage was at
11.4 in start and zero at the off and run positions. I also used a
12-gage wire as a jumper wire. The car did not start.
So we can determine that the problem is after the neutral safety
switch, and since the starter worked during the bypass, the only thing
it could be is the solenoid, right?
