300 Electrical Problem

Posted by Dave K on March 27, 2004 at 12:04:57 from (66.82.9.47):

The starter on my 300 was barely turning the engine last fall when I quit using it for the winter. Now it does nothing, not even a click. After noting this,I checked the current to the large lug on the right side of the selenoid and found I have 8v to that point(I've been told that the 8v battery does no harm). I had the starter checked and found it to be tired and I had it rebuilt. Still nothing. I'm thinking the problem is probably in the starter switch. Is there a way to jump around the switch to check this out. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. I assume that the small wire hooking to the large lug on the right and the small wire hooking to the small lug on the left side of the selenoid have something to do with the switch.
