Reply to "Short Circuit During Key Accessory Position"

jwelch68Member

I removed the starter again and left it connected as it would be in the car. I used jumper cable to ground the starter to the car chassis.

Also had the auto parts store confirm my battery was good.

Starter spun over with no issues at all while lying on the ground. So, I added another shim and installed the starter again. It turned over fine for 5 or 6 tries. I will try it some more today to see if the issue is solved.

At this point I have 2 shims for a total of 0.200" of spacing on the DB Electric starter. I did compare it to my original Motorcraft starter and there is about 0.100 of difference when the Bendix gear is fully extended. The DB Bendix does extend slightly further than my OE version.

Hopefully this my issue and I can move on to the next gremlin.

Thanks,
John
