Starter Problems
94 buick roadmaster, I've just replaced my second stater in a month, the first starter was bad the second starter caught on fire. I dont know what's the problem, but I have a loose dark green wire hanging wire I'm hooking my yellow wire to the starter selinoid. Can some one help me with this problem?

Re: Starter Problems
Hi Chris35,
great to have more newbies besides myself 1) When You say starter, You mean that You put in new solenoid as well i guess (i havenīt changed starter on my -95 but i guess they come as a complete "kit" when You buy one)? 2) When the second one fried, did You hear any bad mechanical noise or did it just go up in smoke? 3) I canīt see any green wire in Haynes Electrical Diagram so I donīt know where itīs suppose to be, but have You checked the thick main power cable (black or red according to Haynes) so itīs no bad connection there. There is a lot of amps running so bad connection could make smoke... You could also check that the starter/solenoid is grounded properly. I think the starters on these engines are adjustable with shims so if the cogs are too close the starter may get stuck, also a "big smoker". In that case Youīll need shims to widen the gap a bit. Well, thatīs just a couple of ideas, best of luck.
