Kind of wild that both you and GP developed tricks for shorting the solenoid when a replacement solenoid is like $20 and 10 minutes of work. Well, at least for a Mercury Grand Marquis aka the Ford Crown Victoria, I can't speak for Superior German Engineering.


I used to have to hit my starter motor with a long pry-bar to get it going.

Now that I've finally got a reliable car and the money for the $20 solenoid we have a saying about cars in general:

Used to have the time but no money, now got the money but no time.


What’s that joke about “temporary fixes that work are never just temporary?”
