Hi all,
I'm in the process of recommissioning my 2000SC and I've had a strange fault occur with the starter motor, when I turn the key to engage the starter motor the starter turns the engine but when I turn the key off the starter motor continues turning. I pulled the starter motor and cleaned everything and bench tested it and everything works as it should. When refitted and connected the exact same thing happened, I connected the battery up to the starter directly and the fault is still there but every now and then the engine will fire up and the solenoid disengages and the next few times the starter works fine. This is whether the battery is connected normally or wired directly. I've noticed that the alternator is not charging the battery and wondered if this could be shorting something out? Any help appreciated.
Jon.
