Starter not catching... yeah that is what it "feels" like...

The pump quit a couple weeks back. All three of my car's have lost pumps in the around 200k, so it's not usual for the area. Still.. the PO that he replaced the pump, but it looked like the original one to me.

When the pump first failed, I tried applying some direct power to the lead to confirm good function, but got nothing. I replaced it with an overpriced aftermarket pump from the local parts shop. Note that I don't usually buy key parts locally, but had to make an exception.

Anyway, it took a while to get it going with the new pump. However, it was working fine until last Friday when the pump lost power.

Unfortunately, the Friday problem is very similar to the earlier problem, so now I wonder if it was the same issue all-along and I just got lucky when replacing the pump.

Unfortunately, I managed to pull-out one of the power spades on the original pump, so I can't bench-test it.


The starter crapping out suddenly is rather concerning. Very coincidental..
