M1009 Starting Problems

[sgtlutz]

Long story short: My M1009's starter relay is sticking. I have not replaced it yet because its 12am an noones open, but when i hook the batteries back up all i get is clicking now, where as before the engine would turn over. I m wondering if when i get a new started realy (Actualy i might go with the doghead starter relay mod) if that will help, or does it sound like this has evolved into my started going bad?

Do the doghead mod.

Could be weak batteries.
Could be starter dying.
Could be the old relay not passing enough current to properly engage starter.

Regarding sticking, did you have a runaway starter motor?
