I have my solenoid out by itself and want to test it. what method should I use? When it was in the rig it would disengage from the starter several times before it would finally stay engaged long enough to start the engine. Once the engine was warmed up she would start right away. 1991 Humvee...

Hi Makes sense. Thanks for the help. Ken

Hi Do you have to remove the starter to replace the solenoid? 1991 Humvee. Ken

Thanks for the help. Ken

Hi No, I didn't Replace them this time. I did 2 years ago when I replaced the Regulator. Is there a way I can check the alternator with it out? Maybe at an auto supply store. ken

Hi It is a 60 amp. I had replaced the voltage regulator a couple years ago to fix the same problem. I was thinking that it was a good choice. I was wrong. Anyway, the voltage at the regulator with just the starter switch on was 24 volts. Stayed the same with it running. How do I check the...

My 1991 is not running in the green for voltage. I replaced the voltage regulator but it's still the same. What do you think I should test next? Ken

She's a 1991 6.2. Not sure what else you need to know. Here are a couple pics of generator. Ken

Today coming home the Generator gage went over into the red and stayed there a couple minutes then dropped down into the green and slowly started to drop lower. I'm guessing that it stopped putting out voltage to the batteries. How can I test to see if it's the voltage regulator or the...

Sir Thanks for the info. It makes sense. As soon as the weather (snow) gets better I will check it out. Ken

Hi When the engine is cold the solenoid will disengage after one or two turns. Once she is warmed up from either the block heater or from been driven she will start right away . My thought is that the starter solenoid is the problem. I hope that this is making sense . Ken

HI The starter will disengage after a couple of cycles . Each time it will cycle maybe once or three or four times and then disengage. Sometimes it will stay engaged and start the engine. If I have it plugged in a couple hours to warm it up, then she will start right away. When she is all...

Hi I would say it is disengaging from the flywheel and spinning to a stop. Ken
