Y60 starter problems
I am at wits end my my safari. Have replaced starter motor about 6 times now. Any advise or any modifications i can do to help the situation??
Re: Y60 starter problems
What fails on them? Is it the same thing each time?
modified surf, hardly drive it seem to keep modifying it....
Re: Y60 starter problems
Are you sure your replacing them with the correct voltage starter motor?
Re: Y60 starter problems
What exactly is, or isn't happening with it?
Is it slow to crank, just clicks, does nothing at all?

Well the relay will just clicks and starter does nothing. Its like everytime i go 4wdriving. I understand they dont like mud and water but the last one only lastex one outing

Yes definately all 24v.
Re: Y60 starter problems
Is it the starter relay, or the solenoid within the starter assembly that is clicking? Have you checked all wiring connections are reasonably clean (at the battery etc).
I had what I thought was starter issues earlier on in the year, go to start, and the solenoid would just click with no starter rotation. I pulled out the starter and gave it a once-over, but it all looked really clean inside, so I put it back together and started looking around.
What it turned out to be was a bad connection of the large starter cable on the battery. Gave it a clean up and everything was sweet as again.

check the earth to the engine block from the battery.
Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.
Re: Y60 starter problems
Have you tried a jumper cable straight from positive on the battery to the starter?
Ialso had a faulty starter relay, must have broken down inside, would still click, but every now and then was a no go

Re: Y60 starter problems
Sounds electrical too me too.
-Make sure that the solenoid is seeing 24v when you turn the key (the small wire on the solenoid). If not you'll need to find where the voltage drop is and fix it or put a relay in the starter circuit.
-Make sure all the thick cables to the starter have clean terminals at any point they join.
-Make sure your battery is in good condition.
I suspect the first one is the issue.

Cool sounds like some things for me to try. I will get back to you
