Hi, derekderek. I am sorry to late to reply.
I just have been done your instruction. The first, I have to say sorry everybody. Because last owner changed the any wires color, so I mistook to connect S and R terminals. But Yellow wire connect toS terminal and purple to R terminal,
starter won't crank. And next, y
ellow and purple wires removed from terminals and hook the other wire to the S terminal. Just touch the positive battery terminal. Starter cranked, but it has not been stop the wire remove from battery.
Is starter fault, right?

Yellow goes to R and purple goes to S.

underlined text - no crank with the wires off, right? That is indicating the wiring is the issue. Check the wires for voltage.

I read it as wires backwards = no crank and then putting purple onto S terminal = uncontrolled cranking.

[QUOTE=derekderek;1605042200]no.彼はバットからs端子までジャンパーでそれをクランクします。バットからワイヤ ーを取り除き、クランキングを続けます。悪いソレノイド。[/引用]

こんにちは、デレクデレク。スターターを取り外してソレノイドを変更しましたが、スタ ーターが止まりません。
というわけで、この車の所有者に聞いてみた。誰かがスターターをオーバーホールしまし たか?
誰もオーバーホールしておらず、私はスターターをオーバーホールしました 。
そして車に戻り、もう一度確認した。
キーをOFFからSTの位置に回し、スターターをクランク。
そしてSTからOFFに戻ると、スターターが止まった。
たぶん私は、ソレノイドは故障していない、スターターモータは故障してい ると思った。
とにかく、derekderekと他のみんなのおかげで、スターターの問題は修正され ました。
どうもありがとうございます。

No one had overhauled and I overhauled the starter. Then I got back to the car and checked again. Turn the key from OFF to ST and crank the starter. And when I returned from ST to OFF, the starter stopped. Maybe I thought the solenoid was not faulty, the starter motor was faulty. Anyway, thanks to derekderek and everyone else, the starter issue has been fixed. Thank you so much.
