One large terminal post to battery Other large terminal post to starter Small terminal post to trigger wire If extra small terminal post disregard
There are 2 bolts that hold the starter in place and 2 nuts that hold the wiring to the solenoid.
Your starter solenoid is sticking. Replace the starter solenoid and you should be good to go.
The starter solenoid on a 1986 Cadillac Coupe Deville is located under the front of the vehicle. It is to the left of the oil pan.
If this happened immediately after replacing the starter, I would say the wires on the solonoid are connected wrong. It could be the switch but I think it is the wiring.
On the starter if 1 pos cable or midway if you have 2 pos cables & is remote mounted between.
Disconnect the - battery cable raise and support vehicle Disconnect wiring harness at top of starter Remove mounting bolts Remove starter
Ford's fusible links are usually connected to the battery side of the starter solenoid.
Check either: Solenoid, Wiring, Switch, or OD Relay.
I would check the power right at the starter. Either the solenoid on the starter is defective or the connections/ battery are poor.
bad starter, or bad relay, bad ground or power wire to starter solenoid, bad ignition switch, blown fuse, etc
on the fender passenger side. If I remember right. disconnect batt. first, good luck. Your car has a starter solenoid rather than a relay. It is located piggy-back on the starter. It should be right on top of the starter motor, attatched.
Engine Seized? Dead Battery? Loose or corroded battery cables Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
