The starter and solenoid could run hot and melt wires due to a high electrical resistance in the circuit, causing excessive current flow. This can be caused by corroded or loose connections, undersized wires, or a malfunctioning solenoid. It is important to diagnose and address the underlying issue to prevent further damage.

Why would the starter stay engaged after vehicle starts on 92 Topaz?

Either the ign. switch is faulty, or the starter is faulty Or the starter solenoid is stuck closed, so the starter is constantly engaged and getting voltage from starter relay. If so you would need to replace the solenoid.


How run electrical from house to a shed?

You will have to run wires from your electric box in your house, I would suggest barring these wires.


Outside porch lamp has no box just two wires coming in black wires are tied and don't connect to fixture just the white wires what is going on here?

You would have to provide more info to be certain what your problem is. Typically a black and white wire would connect to the two wires on the light fixture. The fixture should also be controlled by a switch that "breaks" the black (Hot Wire) to turn off the fixture. If you have a volt meter you can see if there is 120Volts between the black and white wires with switch on. If there is a single white wire going to fixture (Neutral), where is the "black wires tied" to. Maybe one of the black wires has broken off the fixture.


Which groups of elements would most likely be used for electrical wires?

Electrical wires are usually made from metals.


If i wire three 10 awg wires together can they handle 90 amps?

Yes, three 10 AWG wires can handle 90 amps when wired together in parallel. Each 10 AWG wire can typically handle up to 30 amps, so three wires can handle a total of 90 amps. It's important to ensure that the wires are securely connected and properly sized for the current being carried.

Did you just put a starter on it ??? Sounds like the starter wires are on the starter wrong are thay are shorted out. CHECK THE WIRES GOING TO THE STARTER CLOSELY.


1995 silverado starter wire sparks and clicks while starting?

I would unhook the BATTERY and then Check the starter wires, Clean and tighten the wires on the starter and make sure there not touching anything that would make them short out / spark. That should fix your problem.


What would be the problem if the starter would keep turning over even when the key is off?

There are a couple possibilities: If the starter has been replaced and the problem has just begun, check the wiring. It could be that you have crossed the wires to the starter. If THAT'S not the case, verify that the keyswitch is releasing the starter after you let go. and last, make sure there are no damaged or crossed wires between the keyswitch and the starter.


Why would the starter stay engaged all the time after it and the solenoid were replaced on a 1986 F150 if no wires are crossed?

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.


Would bad wires cause car not to start?

Yes, check the connection to the starter and the spark plug wires first and replace if needed.


How do you replace the starter wires?

Not knowing what vehicle you have , I would replace them in the same order as they came off.


What would cause a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville not to have power after replacing the starter and reconnecting the battery?

check your starter wires there should be wires going to 2 different places on the starter, 1 large gage wire to the copper terminal and 1 smaller to activate the solenoid


You replaced your battery and starter It still won't start It may be a fuse but all the fuses in the fuse box are good Where would a bad fuse be or could it be something else?

it could be that ignition switch or wires to it. wires to the starter.


How do you replace the starter on a 2001 Chevrolet S10?

you disconnect neg. side of battrey and then raise the truck and some times over the th rt front over the tire you can get to the wires to disconnect if not go under car and look at starter should be able to acess the wires only 2 of them then take the 2 mounting bolts for starter, remove them and then sneak the starter out it will be alittle tight to do so take your time. there might be a shim between starter and engine if so must use it with new starter unless the new starter may say no shim needed, would be printed on the head of starter. if no shim install with no shim. when installing and you connecting wires be sure that wires are not! touching together if not sure when you go to connect battery it will spark badleyand starter will engauge at that point leave battery disconneted double check wires at starter.

How do you hook up the wires to a starter on a 1978 350 rocket?

The large one from the positive side of the battery attaches to the large post mounted on the starter solenoid and a smaller purple wire that attaches to the small post on the starter solenoid marked "S". The small post on the starter solenoid marked "R" is not used with that vehicle. Any accessory power wires would also attach to the large post on the starter solenoid.


What does a fuel pump relay switch do?

A fuel pump relay provides power to turn on fuel pump. A relay allows small current to control high current- example- a starter relay-- If you didnt have a starter relay- the big thick starter wires would have to run to the ignition switch, and then back to the starter. with a relay- you only have little tiny wires running to the ignition switch... when you turn the ignition switch on, a little bit of current goes through the tiny wires to the relay- which powers a coil- which then makes the contacts inside the relay connect- which then allows the high current to run through the big wires to the starter. kinda simple- but can be confusing. carmine C-
