Just got back from a weekend away and had an issue starting again.
Last time it happened was twice going to Busstop last Easter.
Once at Broken Hill and once just outside of Strathalbyn (on the Murray - can’t remember name)
First time it happened was a couple of years ago on our northern NSW trip up Walcha way.
I faffed around with hitting the solenoid, replacing key switch, cable tieing plug cables so they don’t move
Narrowed it down to the starter solenoid wire.
Turn the key and I get power to the solenoid terminal.
But won’t fire.
If I replace the wire and take a “hot wire” from the alternator - fire right up.
I have changed key switch and it’s not that.
It is very intermittent.
Only happened 5 times but all in the last 3(?) years
I haven’t replaced the spade connection.
That will be my first job.
If it’s not that I’m not sure what to do.
If it’s the plug on the key switch I doubt I can get a new one.
“If” I can get a second hand one - I will need to splice it in.
Maybe just run a new solenoid wire?
Anyone done that?
Where does the loom run?
