Windscreen wipers problem

The test verifys that the solenoid pulls in and energises the starter.

 

Can someone do a little diagram of where to hold my screwdriver, what two points to bridge.

 

Pull off the (red/black?) lead from the ignition switch to the solenoid. Short that tab terminal to the big +12 stud on the back of the starter. The solenoid should go clunk, and the starter shoul turn.

Be careful nut to short the stud to the body of the starter.

 

It was toconnect to the cut off switch.

 

Just see here, on right side.

Yes, the engine won't start but the stater motor should turn.

 

However, the van will move if it's still in gear

 

Is that where i bridge? To the big lump in middle of starter.?

From the spade connector in solenoid (taking off red/black ignition cable first)???

You short it to the threaded stud with all the wires on.

 

It will give you a fright

 

And it WILL spark, which if not expected will make you jump, keep hold of the screwdriver so not to injure yourself

 

A not too long thick wire

 

Do i remove the red black wire first, from the solenoid threaded nut?

 

No

 

This sounds ok. Going yo do it tomorrow.

 

This is where im unclear, sorry.
"pull off the red/black lead from the ignition switch to the solenoid"

You mean disconnect the lead from under the dash?

 

No, I mean pull off the lead with the transparent insulator in your pic.

 

Thanks
