Solenoid

For changing the Starter motor solenoid, first, take out the Starter motor and reposition the m-terminal stud weather cover. Clean the epoxy coating off the m-terminal stud after which loosen the m-terminal stud nut and pull the cable out of the m-terminal stud. Then, disconnect the solenoid bolts, separate the solenoid from the housing, and unhook the solenoid plunger from the drive gear lever. It is to be observed that the spring is situating against the drive gear lever and that the drive gear lever is sitting in the solenoid plunger loop. Get rid of the solenoid housing, if necessary the solenoid plunger and spring. For installation, optionally, if required, install solenoidal plunger and spring and three bond silicone 1207b, gm p/n 97720043, to secure a Starter Solenoid attachment area. Mount the solenoid in a manner that the drive gear lever is inserted into the solenoid plunger, loop by pulling the gear lever and the plunger toward itself while tipping the solenoid, to align the lever with the loop then pushing the solenoid towards the house. Make sure that the drive gear lever is properly inserted into the solenoid plunger loop so as to prevent abnormal or no functioning of the Starter. Install the solenoid pump pulsation bolts and torque them to approximately 10 Nm (89 lb in). Remove spill over silicone round solenoid base for weather seal then fit cable to the m-terminal stud between washers and the terminal nut tightening the m-terminal stud nut to 8 Nm (71 lb in). Seal the m-terminal stud connection using three bond silicone 1207b gm p/n 97720043 and replace the m-terminal stud weather cover. Perform pre-installation bench tests; carry out the Starter in the free-run situation, and install the Starter motor.

In order to replace the Starter motor solenoid, take out the Starter motor and relocate the m-terminal stud weather cover. The 5-last step is to try to clean the epoxy coating from the m-terminal stud, loosening the m-terminal stud nut and removing the cable from m-terminal stud. Then take out the solenoid bolts and separate solenoids from the housing, disconnecting solenoid plunger from the drive gear lever. Please observe the way in which the spring is located against the drive gear lever and also observe the way in which the drive gear lever is located inside the solenoid plunger loop. Remove the solenoid housing and the solenoid plunger and spring if necessary. For installment, if there is a need for it, install the solenoid plunger and spring, and then apply three bond silicone 1207b, gm p/n 97720043, around the attachment of the starters solenoid area. It will ensure the drive gear lever is well fitted into the solenoid plunger loop so as to prevent abnormal operation of the Starter. Install the solenoid, accompanied by driving of the drive gear lever that fits into the solenoid plunger loop placing the handle lever by pull the lever out and the plunger out from the Starter housing there by tipping the solenoid and push it against the housing. Mount the solenoid bolts and tighten them further to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Clean out any extra silicone near the base of the solenoid for a waterproof seal. Hook up the cable to the m-terminal stud between the washers and terminal nut, tightening the m-terminal stud nut to 8 n.m (71 lb in. Cap the m-terminal stud connection by use of three bond silicone 1207b or gm p/n 97720043, and reset the m-terminal stud weather cover on the studs. Test the Starter bench on a free-run condition, then install the Starter motor.
