98 Honda Accord A/T-No key, starting motor runs
-No key in the ignition
-New (known good) battery installed -Positive Cable connected -When Negative placed on post .... starting motor runs continuously -Plunger does not engage (fortunately) - so engine did not turn over. Background: -This car had been stored for ~three years, with battery removed. -The car has been stored in a garage - dry and temp never below 35 F degrees. -The car operated fine before the car was stored, especially the starter - no problems. -No one touched/tampered with the car in storage. -I have driven 99% of the miles (~96K) and it has been serviced properly. -Cable connections @ battery and starting motor are clean, corrosion free and tight. What happened? (my ~guess~ is a relay is closed that should be open. But please ignore my guess, OK? |
For starter to turn the solenoid on the starter must be shorted closed. It may be frozen from rust or dried oil. Remove starter and clean/check the solenoid and starter bendix movement, or replace the starter.
good luck |
