starter solenoid problems but starts fine!

[scobaru]

the car starts up fine but where relays K5 and K7 are supposed to get grounded from the starter solenoid theres power there thus the relays won't click giving me power for the blower and power windows. if I bypass the relays everything works fine and I tested for power in the relay power location 85 and 86 with key on engine off and it both tested to have power when 85 is supposed to have ground.

I tested 85 for continuity to the terminal on the starter solenoid and it has good contact its just the starter terminal is not giving me the ground its suppose to have.

would you guys say I need a starter solenoid now because of this? Besides ebay does anyone know where else I could get one for cheappp?

Check all connections on starter and hot battery post. I had the same problem and found loose connection on starter. Blower and windows worked great after tightening. Good luck!!!

Dude! I have the same issue. I read that you sold the car but you did resolve your problem. My relay ground is good down to the starter and is tight but the terminal on the starter is not grounded and the whole stud moves(is it broken?). What did you do to fix it?
