What are the reasons for a car starter not working?
1 Answers
The reasons for a car starter not working are: insufficient battery charge, excessive resistance caused by poor wiring or connections, resulting in reduced current. Reasons for starter freewheeling: 1. Disconnection between the armature shaft and armature core; 2. Improper adjustment of the gap between the engine, starter drive gear, and thrust washer; 3. Damaged flywheel ring gear; 4. Faulty magnetic switch, open circuit in the pull-in and hold coils, and burned contacts on the circuit, magnet, contact disc, and contact surfaces. Correct starter activation method: 1. Activation time should not exceed 5 seconds, followed by 2 minutes of idling to allow the battery to recover; 2. Ensure battery insulation in low temperatures to maintain sufficient starting capacity.
