HELP! New starter problem

[edpdx]

All better now- Needed to add an extra ground is all.

After more than a week messing around with this starter, I finally have it back in and running .

I ran it over to a starter shop- told the fellow what was happening. He attaches the battery cable and shorts the terminals- whiirrrrr!.

I scratched my head and the guy says I probably just had a dirty ground is all. I went back home and sprayed everything down with some carb cleaner, brushed it with a new brass brush and reinstalled it all with an extra ground wire (10g) from the screw where the bracket goes to a bolt on the chassis where the 24v lead is clamped to the frame.

All seem to be right- Blazer started right up.

Just wanted to add resolution to this thread.

Thanks to warthog and chevymike for all the input.

Glad you got it working! Sometimes it's the simpliest of things that cause the most problems.

#%$^%@^! , I got in the Blazer, waited for the WAIT light. Cranked as it should but did not start. I tried again and on the second turn all I heard was CLICK.

Someone give me another troubleshoot I can try please. I, like you, need reliability and after laying on my back for a week to get it finally running, I am facing the problem again.
