91 GC Starter Problem

I had a problem with the starter. You would turn the key and the dash
lights would go dark and the starter wouldn't crank. Try it again and
the starter would function fine. I figured after 113k miles, the
starter had it. Replaced with a remanned unit and same problem.
Cleaned all battery and starter terminal connections. Could it be a
relay?

 

Too bad you replaced a good starter with a possibly inferior aftermarket
rebuilt (I'm assuming). If the lights were dimming, then you should
have figured the starter was not the problem.

Have your battery tested - perhaps it is just plain bad. If that's not
it, get a multimeter and find out where the voltage drop is occurring in
the string of power from the battery to the power distribution. (also
check grounds for voltage "rise" (drop).

I'd assume the battery is bad and troubleshoot starting with that
assumption (get battery tested - or using the multimeter, do it yourself
by watching the voltage on the battery posts - the actual posts, not on
the clamps attached to the posts - when you turn the key to 'start').

 

Too bad when he bought the starter he didn't read the service bulletin
enclosed with it.
