Corrective Actions
1. Check Starter Solenoid Coil a. Inspect coil and connector terminal. Verify there is no damage to coil. Special connector at starter is tight and locked. Harness connector is not damaged or corroded. b. Check resistance of coil. Verify coil not open or shorted. 2. Check Power and Wiring a. Place Start/Run-Off switch in the OFF position and then back into the Start/Run position. Following buzzer, check for power at SS terminal and 3MM-12. Must have minimum 11 VDC. If not, check connectors and wiring between terminals for damage, moisture or corrosion. b. Check starter. Refer to engine workshop manual.
