ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a no crank, no start condition. This may be caused by corrosion of the starter cable B+ terminal at the starter solenoid due to a
reaction between dissimilar metals (steel nut used to attach the battery cable to a brass stud on the starter).
ACTION
Whenever the starter or harness is replaced, the new brass/tin plated nut (W706414-S413) replaces the old service steel nut. Follow the appropriate
model year Workshop Manual for harness and starter replacement procedures.
NOTE
IF CORROSION HAS DAMAGED THE STARTER CABLE END (CRACKED, ERODED METAL), THE APPROVED PROCEDURE IS TO
REPLACE THE HARNESS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE STARTER CABLE EYELET.
