Bad R terminal. That's the terminal in the 12 o'clock position on the solenoid. Ground it and you'll find your stuff works again. Where did you buy it? Bosch rebuilt?

i had bought one back in august.....and went bad earlier this week luckily i had lifetime warranty on it...i got it from kragens its a bosch 440x...and a quick question what do u mean by ground it? sorry for the stupid question lol

[Dirtbleed]

make a short wire and connect it from the r terminal to the intake manifold. I've gotten 3 bad starter from Autozone losers. Lifetime warranty.
Now I have to change it for a 4th time. Pissed to say the least. If all your accessories work, and they will, it's a bad r terminal in the solenoid.

It happened to me, but I just grounded it to the other ground post on the actual starter.

[e30driftz]

do u have any pictures of it so i can see how it was done?

[Dirtbleed]

Or ground it to the fasterner bolt.

Ya know Im having this same problem.. just changed my starter now windows/radio/blower motor arent functioning. My question is why ground something thats already grounded? the 12 o clock terminal is a positive one.. wouldnt it do more harm than good if you ground it again?

Somehow they messed up when they rebuilt all of them. I've been driving like this for 1 year. Car starts perfectly.

Damnit, this happened to me too. Rebuilt Bosch. I didn't know it wasn't working until I got off work and had to drive home in traffic thought I was going to have a damn heatstroke.

Did this and it didn't work. What do I do now?

The small green/black wire os for the "Unloader Relays" which keep you from being so crazy as to run your heater or windows while cranking the motor. It goes to 12V when cranking, so do not leave it connected to the starter when bypassing!

Triple check that green/black, that is your likely culprit.

Luke disconnecting the green/black wire did not work. The first day I had it in, the blower motor came on while the car was cranking and then went of after the car started up. Now none of the electrics do anything, should I go get another starter?
