Chevrolet El Camino Starter Solenoid
This article aims to provide information about the importance of the Starter Solenoid in Chevrolet El Camino vehicles especially to its function in starting the vehicle's engine. It works, in essence, as an automotive relay which joins the battery to the starter motor in that moment when the ignition is initiated to allow for the flow of large electric current. Further, the solenoid rotates the starter pinion so that it aligns with the ring gear of the engine for efficient working. Chevrolet El Camino models of the years have incorporated Starter Solenoids of differing styles and have used styles other than inertia like the Bendix drive. The new generation solenoids have an additional feature called a one way clutch to avoid pressing the starter motor beyond its limit. Problems like inadequate current from low battery can hamper the solenoid and starting becomes a real tough task. Maintenance is very crucial assuming the proper functioning of the Starter Solenoid in buying or proudly owning a Chevrolet El Camino.
Each OEM Chevrolet El Camino Starter Solenoid we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Chevrolet El Camino Starter Solenoid Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and replace the solenoid unit in a starter motor on Chevrolet El Camino?A: After removing the starter solenoid unit, disconnect the connector strap from the solenoid terminal. Next, remove the two screws securing the solenoid housing to the end-frame assembly. Twist the solenoid clockwise to disengage the flange key and withdraw it. Remove the nuts and washers from the solenoid terminals, unscrew the two retaining screws and washers for the end-cover, and pull off the end-cover. Unscrew the nut washer from the battery terminal on the end-cover and remove the terminal, followed by the removal of the resistor bypass terminal and contactor. Replace the motor connector strap terminal by soldering a new terminal in position, then use a new battery terminal and install it to the end-cover along with the bypass terminal and contactor. Reinstall the end-cover and the remaining terminal nuts. Finally, install the solenoid to the starter motor, ensuring the return spring is in position on the plunger, insert the solenoid body into the drive housing, and turn it counterclockwise to engage the flange key before securing it with the two screws and connecting the connector strap.
