Starter Solenoid
Discussion
OK so not car related but someone may be able to help please. We`ve a Lamborghini 600 tractor on which the starter motor solenoid blew. Having purchased a replacement starter is not functioning. There is 12 + volts to the main input terminal but only roughly .016 volts from the ignition switch. Should this low voltage be higher please?
^^This^^
To test it you can try shorting between the main 12v+ terminal on the starter and feed terminal from the ignition switch. Use a BIG screwdriver or something and be prepared for some fireworks.
If that operates the starter satis there is a problem between the switch and the solenoid.
Good luck.
ETA: normal caveats about your responsibility etc. but I started a 1250hp CAT a few weeks ago doing this when the normal switch failed.
