Need advice - Starter stays engaged burned pos cable - 11/28/11 03:44 AM
I have a 383 with M/T and a mini starter. The car is fresh out of resto and has 56 miles on it. I went to start the car today and even after the car started th starter stayed engaged. I turned the key off and then on and it still stayed engaged.
I disconnected the neg battery cable which stopped the starter. In the meanwhile the positive battery cable fried so bad it will have to be replaced.
One fella said it could be the mini starter. He said some have metal shaving left in the case due to poor manufacturing and the shaving short out and cause problems such as I had.
Any thoughts, advice, etc? I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
Thank You,
Bob
