rebuilt everthing. drove the car daily for 2 years and now (twice this week) the car doesn't turn over at all. Lights come on but its like the park switch is not working. So far it has done it only when its hot. First time , I turned the switch off then on and it worked. Second time , I let it sit for 30 minutes and it worked. The starter is only 2 months old (rebuilt by a local shop with a new selonoid). #1. How can I bypass the neutral safety switch? Can't I jump it from under the hood to turn the starter? #2. If it happens again (and it will at the most opportune moment) and I get it to run by rapping on the starter with a hammer, then its the selenoid right? Can I replace the selonoid myself? #3. When I put the starter on I noticed the wires were in bad shape. the big wire is bare of any insulation near the starter. Could this cause this symptom? Thanks, Justin Of course my wife was in the car last night when it happened so that makes it even worse. She is not a big Riv fan.
Thanks Jim, I found the purple wire. The next time it happens I will try it. I have had problems with it before so I suspect it before I look at the harder stuff.
