IF ENGINE WON’T CRANK
ALWAYS CHECK FUSE FIRST
TEST #1
Using a remote starter switch or a suitable device,
make a connection between the large terminals on
the solenoid. If engine does not crank!!!
•Battery may be weak or dead
•Starter may be bad
•Battery cables may have bad connections
•Do not go to Test #2 until this test gives results
TEST #2
If engine did crank in test #1, disconnect green wire at
spade connector and apply positive voltage from the
battery to the primary wire on the solenoid. Make sure
the one with the eyelet is grounded. If engine doesn’t
crank now, replace the solenoid. Remember, all other
tests are useless unless these two tests make the
engine turn over.
TEST #3
If engine did crank in the first part of test #2, reconnect
green wire to solenoid. Make sure the drive controls are
out in neutral position. Using a jumper wire attached to
the positive terminal of the battery, apply 12 volts to
the red wire on terminal B of the ignition switch. Try to
crank, using the ignition switch. If engine cranks, the
fuse or the fuse holder, or related wiring is defective
somewhere back to the solenoid.
TEST #4
If engine did not crank in test #3, make sure the drive
controls are in neutral position. This time move the
jumper wire attached to the positive terminal of the
battery, to the green wire on S
terminal of the ignition
switch. If all components in the circuit are working, the
engine should crank. If it doesn’t, move on to next test.
