Have a 1990 Ford Aerostar and instaled a new solenoid bought from Autozone for only 10 bucks. Well on first crank it starts but then the starter kept turning and wouldnt stop cranking despite the fact that i put the key back on the normal postition..so i quickly disconnect the negative cable. Did a continuity on the solenoid and find that the circuit is stuck closed (on postion)So i return the crap and get a 16 dollar Fran version and for a few days it works fine..then one day..same problem again.This time i whack the back of the solenoid onto a bench and retest the thing...and it comes back fixed..(open circuit..Off position) My question is...is there something that could cause this in my car to make it work like this? Or is Autozone selling me shit made in China? I say this cause some forums have said that some of the lower end outer tie rod ends have been having some issues on quality.Wondering if the same applies to its solenoids.
