the wiring should be checked- voltage to the starter and also to the solenoid when the key's in the crank position. Other possibilities include battery and terminals. The "new" starter is suspect too, especially if this is an automatic VW Cabriolet. If the problem is a failure to turn over when an attempt is made to start the car when it's hot, definitely suspect the starter. There's a relay kit to remedy this problem too.

You just replaced the starter on your car and now the check engine light is on and it is making a high-pitched whine or zing sound right after the car starts what could be the reasons?

Sounds as if the starter bendix is staying engaged in the fly wheel. Possible wrong starter or starter needs shimmed down out of the fly wheel .


Why does Starter keep cranking even after the engine starts I Replaced starter but still cranking?

There are probably severable possible reasons, but I can only think of a few at the moment. Some of the reasons include: 1. Misalignment of the starter when installed, which allows the teeth on the starter gear to bind with the the teeth on the flywheel, thus preventing disengagement after the engine starts. 2. A defective starter solenoid, which remains [stuck] in the start/engaged postion. 3. A defective ignition/starter switch in which the circuit providing current to the starter solenoid winding coil does not "open" as it should when the key is released and thus be allowed to return to the "run" position.j3h.

Why does the electric starter quit working on scooter?

There are 5 possible reasons why the starter quit working on the scooter. First, the battery was bad, second, the starter switch was bad, third, the solenoid was bad, fourth, the the starter motor was bad, and fifth, there was a bad wire. I found another reason, which was the one that fixed my scooters problem and that was the brake switch had gone out. Without the brake switch working the automatic starter won't engage.
