Batteries HELP

[Winneconne]

Guys, It looks like I have a bad solenoid and hopefully that will cure my problem. Very unusual for it just to stop working. Has anyone removed a starter before. I understand it's a bit of work.

Removing the starter isn't too bad. but beware it is damn heavy and arcward.

1st remove underbody protection
2nd remove bell housing starter cover
3rd remove wiring be carefull thin wire going to solinoid can be a bitch
4th remove bolts from starter there are three. two near bell housing 1 to engine mount. acctualy one on engine mount is a nut. the two near bell housing also have a shim between starter and lower surface of engine.

like I said it aint light. about 20lb so dont dropit on your heador anywhere else.

Good luck.
