[> [> Subject: Re: 84 pt-36 starter solenoid Author: Dillon Harris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12/ 10/ 07, 3:11pm Thanks I located the solenoid on top of the starter but still can not get the engine to crank reliably. I do not think the problem is with the starter but in the wiring between the switch and the starter as I get no continuity with the tester. I do not have a wirinig schematic for the circuit so I am shooting in the dark. Any information is useful at this time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

If so, how does it start from the rear. There is a diagram of the stating connections in Wanderlodge owners Online. I printed it because I'm have problems starting from the inside. It always srarts from the outside. Art Weatherly Riverside Ca '85 PT36 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It was in the wiring inside the box in the rear that has a key for the remote start. A friend took that apart and bypassed the toggle switch. It starts with the pushbutton or the front key.

[> [> Subject: Re: 84 pt-36 starter solenoid Author: David Ward [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 17/ 08, 6:57pm Ralph, Your story of the sudden death of all electrical systems brought back memories for me. In 1965 I was a bus driver for Arizona State University. My boss and another driver picked up 2 new Birds from the factory and drove them back to the campus. The day after their return I had a class field trip to Flagstaff to the observatories, a night trip. On the trip home, about 50 miles north of Phoenix I was on a 5 mile 6% down grade, when I experienced the same thing you did. Total electrical failure, dead engine, and no lights anywhere. I grabbed a flashlight and a couple flares and went to work. What is now I-17 was then a 2 lane highway and not a good place to be sitting in the middle of the road with no lights at 3:00 in the morning. Thankfully there was also a lot less traffic then than there is now. With the sudden failure my first stop was the battery compartment where I found the ground strap completely off the battery. Even though I was in a brand new bus I always carried a basic tool kit so was able to fix it and get back on the road quickly but it was a real nervous 10 minutes.

[> Subject: Re: 84 pt-36 starter solenoid Author: Dillon Harris [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12/ 19/ 07, 11:01am Problem turned out to be in the grounding strap. I figured this out after seeing sparks flying from under the bus. I took the strap loose from the frame and filed the surfaces before replacing the straps bolt and now it starts every time. The problem now is that the air system lifts only the passenger side and the bus refuses to pull forward as if the front brake were stuck. Any ideas? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
