M6800 starter issues

[ufcxl]

Howdy. Have a M6800 that won't start. Pulled the starter. Didn't spin freely so have it rebuilt with new solenoid. Still nothing. Hear a faint hum when turning key to start. Starter Relay? Insn't that behind the instrument panel? I think I'd have to pull the steering wheel?

Any thoughts before I tear into that?

Starter relay is behind the instrument panel and you will need to pull the steering wheel. But first, two words ... voltage drop test.

My thanks to Dave_eng

Dave_eng has posted the Denso voltage drop test several times. Today it saved me a lot of time and some of the few remaining hairs on my head. Last week, I went to start my M6800, it turned over and just before it started there was a loud pop and nothing. I tried again and all I got was some...

I suggest to clean/tighten all 4 battery cable connections. Then check battery voltage while attempting to start engine as other member suggested.

Are you having the starter completely rebuilt? Or just putting a new solenoid on it?
