new starter relay,now noisy engine?
Ok went out to start my 62 ford galaxie 390.It would not turn over no clicking from the starter relay,headlights bright battery measures 12.8 volts.So I go get a cheap imported starter relay and put it in,when I put the starter cable on the engine starts cranking with the key not even in!Ok relay is stuck closed.Get another relay and this one doesn't turn over the starter till I put the key in,but when it starts the engine starts making a lot of noise ! It was rebuilt in 2009 and has not given me any problems.I hope the starter drive is maybe stuck.ANY IDEAS?

I know the starter relay didn't cause the noisy engine but I wonder if the Bendix drive didn't retract what kind of noise it would make?THE Engine was full of oil and I just drove it last week with no problems!

Re: new starter relay,now noisy engine?
That's possible. You should pull the starter and have a look. If the bendix is engaged with the ring gear the starter will be difficult to remove.

Re: new starter relay,now noisy engine?
I think the solenoid is not disconnecting the starter, so it continues to run and keeps the drive engaged. causing the noise. Can you not get a "good" solenoid? John

Re: new starter relay,now noisy engine?
I agree with others it is likely a solenoid or bendix issue. I have several NORS solenoids. I can cross reference the part numbers with the Ford part number if you have it. While I am healing up from surgery I can not dig through the boxes yet as I can not take them down from the shelves. If you post the correct Ford part number I can look when I get healed up. Alsowould be glad to get you a list of various brand part numbers for you to look for from my Echlin parts interchange guide. After all I need something to occupy my mind. Rod
