Consumer Description

STARTER SOLENOID HAS BEEN MOVED FROM HAYNES MANUAL DESCRIPTION; IT IS NOW ON THE STARTER MOTOR, IN A GM-TYPE ARRANGEMENT. HOWEVER, THE STARTER MOTOR IS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE, LOW, ESSENTIALLY UNDER THE RADIATOR. THIS EXPOSES THE STARTER LEAD (NOT THE BATTERY OR MOTOR LEAD) TO CORROSION. THIS FAILED TODAY. IT SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS POSITION OR SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM CORROSION. *AK
