wired battery wrong , electrics don’t work ?
My command wire started burning, on a 1979 truck. Do you have a video on
how to fix/replace the command wire?
IM GOING WITH BATTERY
Why is this spread over like ten different videos? UGH.
Wrong you are. Straight from Dictionary(dot)com soh-luh-noid
engine is seized
How can you reach from solenoid to inside of the cab w a normal mm?
Actually it is called a starter solenoid.. and then there is a usually a
relay that goes in between the solenoid and ignition…
I have a 1989 mustang gt and im restoring it anyway it started just fine
but one day i went to start it n it would just click….all my fuses and
relays are good so is the battery…i also started it from the solenoid
with the screw driver n when i let go the car shut off. .soni changed the
solenoid and now tbere is no clicking and no power to my dash..
I wish I learned auto mechanics when I as young
A solenoid is on the starter and they have their own relay built inside.Oh
what does a solenoid do that’s right it takes electrical power and turns it
into mechanical energy which pushes the pinon gear to the flywheel. I guess
all the relays in the main power box are solenoids too. ballsniff13 thanks
for providing no information you dumb shit.
i thought the same thing, lol
its solenoid lmao but it is pronounce that way.
that 1 is starter delay
I’ve been using Napa parts. It actually stopped doing it one day. I think
it might have been a bad ground? Idk But I have a warrantee on it so Napa
can just keep replacing if they want. Oh, and I already replaced the
ignition switch too.
could just be these fine made in mexico parts? where you getting your
parts. o reilys auto zone have shit parts. napa is your best bet. not sure
about pep boys that chain aint here. possible the ignition switch is worn
and not canceling the current to the starter solenoid when you rock the key
back out of the start side to run side. does the key switch feal odd or
wore out when you cycle it thru its settings. not proof of failure but
might be a clue to look into..
wow how does this guy have 138 756 video
instead of the light, can we use a multi-meter to test continuity thought
the command wire??
A lot of midwesterners say the “Sill – en- noid”. Aggravating – but I just
let it go.
i have a 97 trans sport with 3400 v6 the van ran fine then had a slow start
then started dieing on me while on brake or turning the wheel then it died
and never started again i had alt checked was good the battery was leaking
acid so i replaced still the same old click sound..???? wont turn over only
makes starter click noise evan if u are geting a jump?? please help..
Oh and Mercedes was the first automobile, Ford only commercialized it with
the invent of assembly line. Goddamn you’re fucking retarded
just replace them both
I am getting low voltage to my solenoid from this wire. No more than 8
volts. It will not even make the solenoid work to start my car. I am
guessing my voltage regulator is bad.
hi, my truck doesnt start, when i turn the key on it doesnt do anything,
all the lights work ,but it does start when i do it straight from the
starter,does any body know waht it could be?
Great advice!!! Thank you!
Are you working on a model T Ford? The solenoid is attached to the starter.
I have searched high and low for anything that tells me about the repair or
replacement of the command wire. Nothing wrong with the solenoid. Please
advise.
enjoy your ignorance fuckin douchemaster
he pronounces it sellinoid, it should sound like soul-inoid
Many times ive seen a simple dirty battery terminal connection cause people
to replace their starters erroneously. First thing u want to do is get a $5
battery terminal cleaner and clean and reattach ur battery cables. And if
you have those replacement bolt-on cable ends u especially need to take
those apart and clean them with a wire brush. Since car manufactures
started using steel and copper for battery cable ends corrosion on the
terminals is a bigger problem.
one question can you start a car thru the solenoid
Good video, but does Nathan always have to wear that hat?
How riplace magnofold 2006 acura rsx
What if the solenoid is part of the starter? I have a 2011 Chevy HHR that
won’t start. Just goes “click” Battery tests good.
It’s a starter relay not a solenoid.
Re: To all whose comments we “Smart
the starter solenoid would have to be on the starter to be a solenoid, so i
think he might be right, a relay for a relay perhaps? I”m not an expert on
the issue
I own an 86 Mustang Lx 3.8 V6. I keep having to replace the solenoid and
it’s getting irritating. What it does is since it got cold outside, its
when I turn the key to start it the solenoid gets stuck and keeps trying to
start the car (until I yank the battery cable or hit the solenoid with the
back of a screw driver). I’ve replaced the ignition, starter, and the
control module on the steering wheel column. Not sure what’s left, but
wiring. Any suggestions???
Mine is broken on my motorcycle gives power when i poke it, wires are tight
along with fuse so it’s fucked inside 🙁
Hey buddy thats awesome thank you very much 4 posting this video very
usefull keep the good work man apreciate for the info
No, its (sell-ah-Noid) sellinoid…been that way since 1909 when Henry FORD
started everything for us. Enjoy
same problem mate did you fix it in the end?
good stuff i guess same idea on an 1986 sporty.
functionality
@saltydog78 Set the meter to DC volts place the positive lead on the
command wire and the negative lead to the car body or battery negative.
Extremely Helpful 🙂 Too all of you with “smart ass”, negative comments ~
