Troubleshooting Hints - Starting System
STARTER SYSTEM1. Check the hydrometer eye that is built into the vehicle Battery before troubleshooting the Starter System.
^ Green eye - Battery is charged.
^ Dark eye - Battery is discharged. Recharge Battery.
^ Clear or yellow eye - Battery fluid is low. Replace Battery.
2. Check that the Starter Solenoid terminals "S" and "B" and Battery connections are clean and tight.
3. Check that all Battery grounds are clean and tight.
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system failure but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check.
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems.
