    No crank issue

    Hey I have an s52 swapped 318is and am having troubles with the starter. I have driven the car for over a year now with no problems, and suddenly it stopped turning over. All accessories work but when I turn the key nothing happens. Only other thing that won't work is the power windows. I can push start the car and start it no problem, and when it's running power windows work great. Ive checked all the fuses and replaced the battery, replaced the ignition switch and had no luck. I took out the starter and bench tested it and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

      The unloader relays for the windows ground through the starter and through the block. Id make sure the starter is making good contact with the block and the block in turn well grounded with the chassis..

        Put a new grounding strap off the engine and it fired right up. Thanks for the help.
