Re: Starters keep burning out? 700 1986

Hello,

I have seen this quite a few times and it was always a short in the wiring harnes that engages the starter when the engine is running. Most likely the place were the wires have rotted is where the wiring harness runs near the diesel pump. Cut the black sleave open and check the wiring, most likely the wire insulation will fall apart.

Best regards and good luck.
