  1. Thanks everyone that has posted info over the last week or so and apologies for not replying to any sooner, ive been on my summer hols! All your info has been extremely helpful and i hope to get back to the car over this weekend. Thanks John
  2. Thanks again Ivan, lots of good advice coming my way appreciated.
  3. Thanks for your advice Steve, looks like i may have to pull the starter again and check all the connections etc.
  4. Hi it would be great if you could show me which connectors to use with some photos as your rhd will be easier to copy that an LHD versions which have different set up. Appreciate any help before i pull the starter again. Cheers
  5. Greg, The battery cable is connected directly to the Solenoid. When the starter was picked up my son collected it and no test was done to show it working I may have to pull the starter again and get it back to then to test. Or learn how to do this myself!
  6. Thanks for this advice I will try and give this a go when back in the garage.
  7. Steve, What you see is how i got it. I appreciate your advice but electrics are my achilles heel, i just dont get it. I live in Hertfordshire.
  8. Ivan, Thanks re your comments on the wiring. That is something that i have noticed following the removal of some of that old insulation tape, so it looks like i might be replacing most of the cabling now too. The car didnt turn over when i got it. It was partially frozen so I freed this off with some Marvel Mystery Oil and patience! I then set about replacing the fuel lines, brake lines, master cylinder, brake cylinders etc etc. When I finally got around to connecting a battery for a dry run. Just wanted to check it turned over on its own steam. I got no response. So investigations began. Whatever we tried it didnt work, so we removed the starter and took it to a car electrical engineers. They tested it and found it "dead" refurbished it for us and we fitted it back in. The other large painted nut has a earth type strapping between the starter body and solenoid. No click whatsoever when trying the button. How would i test for the button wire to the correct terminal and solenoid operating? Im no electrical buff (at all) regards John
  9. Hi, no i havent tried that yet. What size wire would you use for that. Would that cause any issues with the solenoid etc.
  10. Hi Greg, As my car is a RHD it doesn't have a foot operated button. There is a foot operated headlight dimmer switch down there though
  11. HI I dont know if this photo helps but my starter button on my 40 Dodge just unscrews from the front bezel. Perhaps if this doesnt shift try getting behind the dash and losen the nut behind a little to free off the pressure.
  12. HI all, Yet another cry out to the knowledgeable ones on here. That's all of you except me! Now i have recently had the starter motor rebuild on my 1940 Dodge RHD Coupe with the hope that that would solve my initial turning over issues. I dont want to start the car yet but to get it to turn over would be a great achievement. So i turned the keys, yes keys as someone fitted a hidden security one for good measure and i still have nothing. Im no auto electrican but thought testing some of the connections might be a good place to start and im also in the UK so this MOPAR is a bit alien over here! The photos attached show the reading followed by what was tested. so photo 1 + 2 reading + starter button connection, 3 + 4 reading + starter button connection, 5 + 6 reading + voltage regulator top connection, 7 + 8 Starter button connections reading + starter motor power connection, 9 + 10 Starter solenoid left connection, 11 + 12 Starter solenoid right connection, Last pic just to show the car itself which is now needing to get running so i can enjoy it.
  13. Keith, thanks for your advice. I have seen a few of your you tube videos on brakes etc and always find them both informative and easy following, keep it going.
  14. Thanks Merle. Forum member help is always appreciated.
  15. Greg thanks for your advice and website contact details. That may be a good route to follow up on.
