I hope you guys won't mind an off topic question, but there's always someone here who can help..
I'm trying to get a big truck ready for sale, with a 400 cummins in it.. I can't get it to start w/o jumping the terminals on the starter solenoid..
Three of three batteries load test fine.. Here's what I think might be the problem, but don't know.. We changed the solenoid on the firewall, but it's a 24 volt solenoid.. Parts guy, who is usually pretty good, said it should work.. I cleaned all the terminal ends and replaced a couple going into it, grounded it well, and even took the main ground from the starter off the firewall, sandblasted it bare and re-grounded it.. All I get is click click click when I push the starter button after turning the key on...Everything seems hooked up and connected well..
Any ideas ??
Thanks,
Kenny
