issue with starter
Hey, my 240 needed a new starter, so I ordered a rebuilt starter online. I installed it, but reconnecting the battery cable created heavy sparks and caused the starter to spin with no key in ignition. Any help? Thanks.

Re: issue with starter
Ok on your starter there should be 2 wires on the side of it, be sure those arnt touching, and if that doesnt work take off your steering column, and make sure you igniton wires arnt frayed.

Re: issue with starter
Okay, the two wires on the new(er) starter definitely aren't touching and it is definitely hooked up the same way the old one was. I took apart my steering column and looked at the ignition switch. I thought maybe the switch may just be stuck closed and need to be replaced so I removed it. But still when I put the battery terminal back on, there are sparks and the starter will still start running on it's own. I would think that by removing the ignition switch that it would completely interrupt the line, not the case. Any other ideas?

Re: issue with starter
take both starters to autozone or advance auto parts or whatever local auto parts store you have ...
have both of them "bench tested" & post results at least this way, you'll rule out the starters and then work on finding the wiring or switch fault |
