Starter solenoid sticking on my LS3 C6 , best to rebuild solenoid [Cheaper} or get a high torque mini starter for the 535rwhp/ 472 Torque motor !!

Did you install a new battery recently? And correctly use the cone-shaped terminal nuts?

Anyway, before you decide what to do, crawl under your C6 and inspect the [+] post on the solenoid ASAP!

Maybe your solenoid connection is loose & undamaged. But it can get worse: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...oid-cable.html

This is a known issue. Lots of related threads, like these:

And of course, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY before you start messing with the starter solenoid.

sticking in the on position all the time , I have to hold the off button all the time and then it will start , disable ,cannot get under car !!

hmm, interesting. that's why I asked. sometimes, when I start my car, it keeps spinning until it catches. but then it stops. don't have to hit the off portion of the button. I'll have to look at the threads CO provided because it could be (mine, probably not yours) the on/off switch itself.

I don't know if it will stop om it's own, I push the stop button to turn it off, next time i will not hit the stop button to see if it will stop on it's own and start !!!

Hey Tube,

I cannot offer technical help like the other members. I can offer to run your VIN to see if you have any open service related announcements. PM me with your VIN and mileage.

I can also help if you decide to go to the dealership. Keep me posted,

The starter will crank for a predetermined time or, until the engine starts, once it starts it will stop cranking.

It's like magic only better

tubesteak

what if it keeps cranking and doed not start???

Then you need to determine the fault in the system
