Magnetic Switch Return Test
- Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION:
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between the M-terminal and body.
WARNING:
Be careful not to get your fingers caught when pulling out the pinion.
- Pull the pinion out and release. If the pinion quickly returns to its original position, everything is operating properly. If it doesn't, replace the starter motor.
