New starter continually runs
I was wondering if anybody out there might be able to give me some
insight to an issue that I have with a brand new starter I just
installed on a '95 Wrangler SE. The installation required that I use a
new batter terminal connection because the stock wires were to short to
reach the ground and hot wire posts on the starter. This new
connection required that I splice the wires coming out of the fuse box
that holds the relay swithc for the starter and the fuses for other
sensors and switches (ie fuel pump). The problem comes in when I
reconnect the hook-ups to the batter terminals the starter turns on and
won't turn off, even with the key out of the ignition. When the key is
in the on position the starter will turn over the engine, but still
won't turn off. The only way to turn off the starter is to disconnect
the battery again.
I haven't replaced the starter relay or the ignition switch yet and
think that may be the cause of the issue, however I wanted to see if
somebody had this type of experience or had some other insight into the
possible cause.
Thanks in advanced!

Re: New starter continually runs
Would you please explain what 'kind' of freaking starter you are trying
to shoehorn in there and why didn't you just use a "Jeep" starter that
matches your vehicle??
You have the wiring wrong.
There is a trigger wire that energises the starter solenoid and/or
starter relay when the key is turned to run. You have this wire hooked
to power instead of to the keyswitch.
Just a wild guess, but it might be the two green wires on the
solenoid/relay in the wrong place.

Re: New starter continually runs
Its a Mean Green Starter made for my 2.5L engine. The starter does
match my vehicle and there isnt any freaking shoehorning going on.
First off there ins't two green wires going to solenoid genius. 1 Hot 1
Ground. The power comes straight from the battery to the solendoid
then the starter relay with the ignition completes the circuit. As I
stated before It is quite possible that the relay is bad and that I was
in the process of changing it.
But thanks I will look for the trigger wire that energises the starter
or starter relay and ensure that isn't to power.

Re: New starter continually runs
Its a Mean Green Starter made for my 2.5L engine. The starter does
match my vehicle and there isnt any freaking shoehorning going on.
First off there ins't two green wires going to solenoid genius. 1 Hot 1
Ground. The power comes straight from the battery to the solendoid
then the starter relay with the ignition completes the circuit. As I
stated before It is quite possible that the relay is bad and that I was
in the process of changing it.
But thanks I will look for the trigger wire that energises the starter
or starter relay and ensure that isn't to power.

Re: New starter continually runs
If the starter matches your vehicle then there won't be any need to splice
wires to reach the terminals. It is possible that these starters varied
somewhat from year to year and that an exact match is not available. That's
a drag, but it happens.
Don't mind Mike, he's Canadian. ;^)
