Re: Bullet style starter

Failures like you have experienced are a result of overcurrent. You are not likely to find one smoking gun for your problem. Every poor connection in the circuit is causing a voltage drop which increases the load on the system.

You need to inspect and clean every connection point in the circuit starting at the firewall connector where the power lead comes into cab. It is also likely your ignition switch has burnt contacts that are ądding to the problem. I've had bad switches on new harnesses cause the same failure.

Here is a thread on the subject and in it is a link to the problem I had.
