Seems like it is that time if the year, "starter problems". Good news my buddies starter issues have been fixed, now I have my own. Story: We were up on the mountain last night and my 09 died out (water in the fuel) While trying to solve that problem my starter quit engaging (just clicked). While my buddy was walking back to get his truck I figured I would see what was wrong. I thought that my wire from the bus block might be loose. I crawled under the truck and wiggled the wire, the starter started kicking over with the ignition off. Luckily I have a battery cut off switch. I checked the wire today and the stud coming from the relay had gotten into the main power wire from the bus bar, that explains why it was continuously turning over. Well, I pulled the wire back to where they are not touching in any way, and the starter will still "run away" when I try to start it until i cut the batteries off. Once i cut the batteries off it will reset. I have dog head relay mod installed and have tested the relay, it is good, and replaced it just to make sure. I checked the purple wire going to the solenoid and it has 24 volts when trying to start and 0 volts then you turn the key back off (this was tested while the starter was unhooked. I guess then only thing i can be is a bad solenoid correct
? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
