Two functions of a solenoid fitted to a pre engaged starter motor?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
1. To engage the starter with the ring-gear on the engine before the starter is turned on. IE to "pre-engage" it.
2. To turn the starter on once it is Engaged.
This prevents/reduces damage to the gear-teeth on both the starter and the ring gear.

My vauxhall astra estate 97 just had new starter motor and new ignition drove car for 15 miles had major electrical failure now fitted new alternator still same problem help?
The clicking sound is the solenoid on the starter. Either your battery is very dead, or the positive cable going to the starter is in very bad shape, or the solenoid/ or starter is no good. not much to go wrong here.

Ford fiesta and it won't start i got a new starter motor but it still won't start what could it be?
Could be heater plugs if its a diesel or maybe the battery. Check the earth (ground) cables between the engine and body for cleanliness and security of connection. Turn the ignition key, you should hear the starter solenoid 'click'. If it does, the cable from the battery to the starter is a fused link, connect a starter cable between the battery and starter motor solenoid and try to start. If there is no 'click' the fault is either the ignition switch or the wiring from the solenoid to it. If the car is automatic it should only start in Park (P) and Neutral (N). check the operation of the gearbox start inhibit switch. If an aftermarket alarm is fitted check the security and cleanliness of the wiring connections, especially the immobilizer circuit.

You have lost all trip computer functions after fitting a new radio CD player How do you fix this?
The fitted CD player has a CAN-Bus interface built in for remote control and speed volume adjust. If a third party CD/Radio is fitted, these functions are lost, along with the trip computer. It will not damage the trip computer.

Disconnect the battery, negative first and then positive. Then disconnect the wires on the starter. Supporting the weight of the starter, undo the bolts that hold it and withdraw it from the housing. Put in the new starter and fit the bolts loosely. Tighten the bolts carefully, ensuring the starter is fitted properly into the housing. Reconnect the wires making sure they do not lie against any metalwork or get trapped where they might rub through. Finally reconnect the battery; positive first and then negative.
