masiwn Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Can any one help, my caterham has developed a problem starting, At Le mans when hot it would not start we would move black lead on solenoid and it would start so on Tuesday I changed solenoid, car is now worse occasionally starts first time as normal but most of the time it just clicks when turning the key if I keep turning the key it firers on the fifth or sixth click I have taken the starter to Lucas who say its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Change the connector on the solenoid side mostly there is a bad connection due to the heat inbetween the cable and connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edh Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I had the same problem. I tried putting a relay in, which made starting it a bit better. I took the started motor off and re-soldered the connections and gave it a good clean - this helped but every now and again it wouldn't start. Last year my battery died, since replacing it I've not had the "click". I think I had a combination of problems - fingers crossed they won't come back.
