Re: 1987 320 cab starter motor question

i did try that and nothing happened i.e no click or starter. it,s a green and black wire seems to run the blower and the windows.
my mistake i thought it was a pre facelift or are cabs a mixture?

Re: yet another problem...

if thats part of the old starter you could put some metal strip from that bolt to the good one and that would hold it in place till you get one from ebay saving you a lot.it must have had a thump to it in the past,possible jammed.
