Default Starting issue... 89 W100 Power Ram

Hi gang.

My 1989 W100 Power Ram (318 ci) has a starting issue...Sometimes it would turn over and start. Sometimes the starter would not engage at all.


Replaced the starter and starter relay..It cranked fine a couple of times. Now, it won't turn over at all. Battery is good. Connections are clean.
Any advice is appreciated !!!

Mike

Find out where you are losing power at. When it won't crank, are you actually getting power to the solenoid?

likely a bad solenoid contact.
