Correction
1. If the vehicle has the "Goodwrench" alarm system installed, rewire the alarm module circuit with 10 gauge wire. The instructions are in the "ALARM SYSTEM REWORK" procedure below. If another brand of alarm has been installed, a similar rework may have to be done to insure that the wiring from the ignition switch to the park/neutral switch is at least 10 gauge.When the rewire step is complete, continue with Step 2.
2. Check both the positive and negative connections at the battery, the battery ground to the engine block, and the connections to the starter motor. Check the battery to insure that it is properly charged.
3. Using a digital multimeter, check the voltage at the starter solenoid "S" terminal while attempting to start. This test MUST be done while the vehicle is experiencing a "Click, No Crank", not during a good start.
If the voltage is LESS than 9.0 volts, check for high resistance in the wiring, connections, ignition switch, or park/neutral switch. If the voltage is GREATER than 9.0 volts, perform the following steps:
Note:
If the starter solenoid is hot to the touch, use 9.5 volts in the above test. 9.0 volts should be used if the starter solenoid is at room temperature.
a. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
b. Remove the starter following Service Manual instructions in Section 6D.
c. Replace the starter with P/N 10455060. Some 1991-92 vehicles were built using shimmed starters. The new starter does not require a shim, and the shim should be discarded when the new starter is installed.
Note:
These starters should be used for 1991-93 service only. Use existing part numbers for 1988-90 model vehicles.
d. Reinstall the starter. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Note:
If the oil filter was removed to replace the starter, install a new filter and check the oil level.
