The starter in a diesel engine simply gets the engine running by turning the crankshaft so it can start. Learn about the starter issues from your Detroit, Cummins, and Caterpillar engines.
Here are the 4 top causes of starter symptoms and issues for your diesel engines:
Battery Issues: Starter problems often result from batteries that are weak or dead. When a battery is weak and doesn’t carry enough power, it will fail to start the engine.
Faulty Starter Motor: A defective starter motor can create several issues. For instance, it might make a clicking noise when you try to start the engine. Also, when you turn the key in the ignition switch, it might not engage with the engine or turn it on at all
Faulty Starter Solenoid: When the starter motor is not able to receive an electrical signal, it might mean that the solenoid isn’t working. The solenoid is the part in between the electrical system and the starter motor. It is responsible for sending power to the motor.ProDieselParts also offers solenoids for your Diesel Engines which might be just what you need to get things going.Shop with us!
Poor Electrical Connections: Corrosion or lost connections in the electrical system ( battery terminals, starter cables, and ground connections) can prevent the starter motor from receiving the necessary power to start the engine.
