Hi Guys,
I have a ‘91 520h that sat for a couple of months and was working fine. Now it won’t turn over with a new battery by the key switch. I jumped the starter directly from the battery and it turns over. It doesn’t always engage the pinion though.
I checked the blue wire from the key switch to the starter solenoid. It shows just under 12v when key is off and no voltage when key is in start position. Is this correct?
Also, the PTO switch light on the dash lights up when in start position as well. The all the safety switches were overridden when I bought it. No fuses either🙄. That’s my next project.
Need to get this baby going... Expecting 1-2’ of snow tomorrow night!
Thanks for any advice!
Cheers,
John
