dmill_theredneck 1 #1 Posted February 3, 2018 I've got a 18 automatic, I can't seem to get any power out of the starter took it all apart everything looks good, I have power at brushes but when I put it back together an bench test it I get nothing, no noise humm or whine. I think th e re is something wrong with the windings themselves, does anyone know where to get a new or good used starter, or have any ideas as to what my be wrong? I'm at a loss. The starter is a Bosch American SMH 12C1 thanks for any help my cell is 607.427 0668 f you would rather call or txt my name is Dennis thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"D"- Man 827 #2 Posted February 3, 2018 As inexpensive as new starters are, I would not recommend a used one. Some of the new ones even come with a warranty. I purchased mine on eBay for about $52.99 new with free shipping. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #5 Posted February 3, 2018 @dmill_theredneck I'm sure there is a procedure in the manuals section that would explain how to test the windings with a multi-meter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
