182 Trophy
I've had issues with this before where the signal wire has come loose. Usually, a quick wiggle sorts it.
I had a friend have a quick look on his ramps last time it happened, it is looking like he's made an attempt to crimp it on to avoid it coming loose again, but no amount of wiggling this time appears to sort it.
Since it's happened, the voltages have been checked on the feed and the signal wire and seem to be ok, and we even tried 'jumping' from feed to the signal pin, to no avail.
There doesn't seem to be any indication of the starter solenoid activating.
A couple of questions - space looks tight, what's the best method to get to the starter motor and get it out? Can anyone who has done it give me a quick run through?
Secondly, how often does the actual solenoid fail? I'm wondering if the pin isn't just rusted up from it sparking/arcing with a loose connection.
