Symptoms of Fault
The symptoms of this fault are very obvious; turning the key to start the vehicle you will hear a clicking sound and the vehicle will not start, this may well be intermittent with the first few attempts clicking then the starter engaging and the engine starting or you may be unable to start the vehicle at all.
The Fault
The contacts and plunger wear within the solenoid housing causing the fault.
The cause of the fault with these starters is worn contacts and a worn plunger assembly within the solenoid housing. The wear to the brush gear, armature, drive gear and bearings is nominal and these components rarely fail, the starter motor is a very robust unit save for the solenoid contact and plunger which cause the faults. During its service life these copper contacts are spark eroded and wear away to the point that the electrical contact is lost causing the starter motor to no longer fire / function. It is a very straight forward job to replace these components with our new parts to restore the starter motor to full health, with no difference in cranking power in comparison to a brand new unit. It is extremely rare that the unit cannot be overhauled to restore function.
The Solution
Install our replacement solenoid contact points and plunger to restore your starter motor
We offer replacement contacts and a plunger assembly which can be fitted within the solenoid housing to restore the starter motor to full power. The replacement process is extremely easy, pictorial and video instructions are provided by us to guide you through this process. Our repair kit allows you to save the cost of a new starter motor which will have the same contacts and plunger fitted causing the same faults over time.
