Inga (206K 245DL)has developed no start issue when the car is warm. Turn the Key and no sound from the starter. Voltage does drop to 11 or so volts and the lights go out until the key is released. Had battery tested and it was weaker that it should have been so got a new one yesterday. Stopped and filled up last night and same problem. Let her sit for four or five minutes and she fires up nice and strong no drag at all. Do hear a thunk sound sometimes during the start when cold. But that may or may not be part of the issue. Problem only happens after you have driven for several minutes. Has only happened five times and after things like filling up and other short times between restarts. Let it sit for a few minutes and it fires up every time without fail. No drag, this is a good strong start when it does. The starter was replaced with a new one three or four years ago. Know that the ignition and the safety switch in the console could cause issues. But the high current draw is heading me to the starter.

Have not had a chance to double check the connections on the solenoid, it is pouring out there right now. But will get that done this after noon when it lets up. The battery connections were just cleaned.

What to check next? Has anyone ever had an issue like this and what was the fix?

Can you replace just the solenoid and if so how hard is it to remove?

Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

Regards,

PT
