Recommended Posts

hi all ,my son is having problems with starters motor burning out in his 1991 318i e36

earths have been checked and all good.

he replaces the starter and three to four days later same thing happens ,no starting again .once changed all good.for few days.

relays checked and fine.

ign key feels not right ,could this be leaving power on to solinoide

any help or ideas would be great before buying replacement starter again.

Sounds like you may have answered your question

What is happening to these starters? Same thing each time? Are they infact "burning out"?

If so - may well be the ign switch keeping the starter in mesh. You should be able to hear that though & if constant - wont be good for a few days each time:-

Best get it checked by an auto sparky
