So, I've searched mud for starter issues today, and haven't found a thread regarding my specific problem.
I went to start the car and the starter kicked on and cranked the motor, probably 1 or two times, then stopped cranking the motor, but I still can hear the starter motor running until I release the ignition key. I can repeat this process several times, and still hear the starter motor humming...
Eventually, with luck, the car fires up, but its a pita and I don't want to get stuck somewhere.
My synopsis is that the solenoid extends and then retracts before the motor can actually start running.
Does this sound correct? Any advice on how to remedy this without purchasing a new starter?
Thanks
