Can a bad battery burn up a starter?
Starters Can Fail Due To Low Battery voltage Welded contacts can cause the starter to stay engaged with the engines ring-gear and should the engine actually start the high revolutions will cause the starter to blow apart inside.
Are you more likely to burn out the starter motor on your car when the battery is under charged or over charged?
In short, no. The battery can supply “x” number of amps, and a higher capacity battery will supply it longer with no danger to the starter motor.
Why does my starter keep turning even when the key is off?
Trying to start on low voltage,ie low battery, jumper cables, will cause the starter solinoid contacts to weld themselves together thus causing the starter to keep running even with key off or motor running, charge the battery and change the solinoid.
Why does my eBay car starter keep running?
It worked great for a few days, and then after I pulled the carbs one time and put it back together, it hesitated after hitting the button and then started running the starter nonstop. Even after turning the key off. The only way to stop it was at the battery. So I figured something went wrong with the ebay unit.
How can you tell if your starter relay is bad?
The most obvious warning sign that a problem with the starter relay exists is when the vehicle won’t start when you engage the ignition process. As stated above, electronic keys do not have a manual ignition switch. However, when powered, it should send a signal to the starter relay once the key is turned or the starter button is pressed.
Is the starter relay part of the ignition system?
One of the most important – and most forgotten – components of any vehicle’s ignition system is the starter relay. This electrical part is designed to redirect power from the battery to the starter solenoid, which then activates the starter to spin over the engine.

Why does my ls1lt1 starter keep spinning?
Turn key to start, full power is coming through the test light. Turn key off, a small amount of power is coming through the test light still, and the solenoid is still engaged. Disconnect battery, solenoid disengages and no power is detected in the wire after reconnecting battery.
What happens when the starter relay is stuck?
If the starter stays on after the engine has ignited, the main contacts in the starter relay have most likely welded together in the closed position. When this occurs, the starter relay will be stuck in the on position and damage will occur to the starter, circuit, relay, and the transmission flywheel if it is not addressed immediately.
