It's possible, but more likely the starter is faulty or wired wrong.
yes
hey dude this is tatum.. try ur switch for your ignition .. some system involving ignition to solenoid ciruit system which involves starter engagment when key is inserted to ignition switch Outside chance that the flexplate maybe damaged or the starter is not "Shimmed" correctly and not allowing the starter toothed wheel to disengage. In some cases the starter may need to be "Shimmed" to move it away from the flexplate so that the gear does not get jammed. In any case, if you find the problem please let us know 8-) TommyTrouble
A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.
the starter should be bolted to the transmission or to the back of the engine at the flywheel/flexplate.
Remove the transmission and starter. Unbolt the flexplate from the crank. While you're at it, replace the rear main seal. Replace the flexplate and torque bolts to manufacturer's specs.
All starters are somewhere near the flywheel or flexplate, as the starter turns the flywheel or flexplate. That is located between the transmission and engine, but not visable. You will find a heavy gauge wire attached to the starter that will directly or indirectly run back to the battery positive terminal.
Passenger side obviously behind the engine block flush with the flexplate
Down by the flywheel or flexplate. Follow pos batt cable to the end.
I need instructions for replacing a starter on a 1993 cadillac fleetwood broham.
Follow pos bat cable to end around flywheel/flexplate area. That will be it.
Disconnect the battery...
By the flywheel/flexplate-just follow pos batt cable to the very end
