Starter motor solenoid?

I had same thing on my 300. Turned out it was a bad earth from starter to body . You have to take off each earth connection until you find the bad one. Trouble is it may take some time.

check the remote wire that goes from the ingniton switch to the starter motor. Its the thin wire. Mine did this and turned out the wire had come off.

I think I have found the problem

yay its the ignition switch well the wires anyway

where they go into the block on the back of the barrel the back it not going together fully so sometimes it works and sometimes not

so now I'm off to fined a new set of wires

Thanks again Rob
