Folks
I have a 1996 1HD-FT with the 12/24v cold weather starter setup.
I've had the dreaded "turn the key, click" syndrome - again. So I've
booked it into an auto-electrical place who rebuilt the starter for me
previously, and I'm due to take it there tomorrow.
Previously it has been due to duff batteries, so I replaced those
yesterday (hoping it would solve the problem), but still "click". So I
got a tow to get it bump-started today, and that has revealed two
problems:
#1 a sort of whirring / rattling noise from underneath that sounded
horribly to me like the starter still being engaged.
#2 some warning lights (charge, oil pressure, turbo, cam-belt and water
in fuel) staying on.
Problem #1 has stopped - hopefully because it has managed to disengage,
and without damaging the fly-wheel &/or starter - but I'm left with
problem #2 of the warning lights.
Does anyone have any suggestions? As I say all I've done is to change
the batteries and to try to start it. I suppose I could have broken
one of the fusible links when taking the terminal off the battery, but I
was careful and they look OK.
I know one cause of warning lights on the dash is a poor connection
around the back of the alternator, but I haven't touched that and it is
definitely charging OK.
The rest of the electrical system seems fine, lights are bright, voltage
is good, etc.
Can a still-partially-engaged starter (if that is what I have) give
these symptoms?
Any ideas? All suggestions welcome.
