Powers 13 Posted January 8, 2006 I have just finished installing another Mi16 engine into a 205, however when I turn the ignition 2 clicks (so priming) the starter motor solenoid clicks repeatedly. It is as though it is trying to continuously engage. Obviously I have wired something incorrectly, I am just not sure which one. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted January 9, 2006 sounds like you've done something along the lines of mixing up the fuel pump and starter solenoid wires. Try disconnecting the wire you think is going to the solenoid and see if it still happens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powers 13 Posted January 9, 2006 Cheers lads. I will swap the switched + on the 6 pin with the starter on the 9 pin and let you know how i get on. Thanks again. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powers 13 Posted January 17, 2006 Well today i finally got around to changing the two wires around. But I still have a problem! The starter motor isnt turning and the solenoid continues to click, this time however it is at the engine starting point on the ignition barrel (So position 3). Do you think i have knackered the starter motor? When i remove the light blue/grey wire running to the solenoid nothing happens. The thick black wire is connected properly to the starter and alternator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted January 18, 2006 I doubt you've done any damage to the starter. Try putting a wire from the battery positive to the solenoid spade connector to see if it turns then, if it does check for bad connections on the solenoid feed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Josh 4 Posted January 18, 2006 Also check the earth strap connection from battery negative to where it bolts onto the top of the gearbox isn't corroded. This can stop the starter being able to draw enough curent to operate, especially if you've disturbed this connection whilst swapping engines. Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
