Would the smaller connections on the solenoid cause any issues? The large terminals are clean and I also have a direct engine ground but the smaller connections on the solenoid which I assume are to just energise the solenoid are a little lose.Ruffian wrote: ↑May 24th, '26, 13:28 Put a jump lead from the engine block to the negative terminal.
This will give a direct earth.
Also make sure the connections on the positive are good, as have seen dodgy starter solenoid connections give issues, especially if had starting issues before.
Might even be worth putting a screwdriver/jumping the starter solenoid just to confirm not burnt out inside
I will try jump with screwdriver but this freaks me out a bit I'm useless with electrics and don't want a shock haha
