Replaced the contacts in my starter. Worked great for about two days. Went out this morning and all I got was clicks. Had to turn the key six or seven times before it finally kicked over. What is bad here?

 

I a m going to guess you have already checked the starter amp draw?
to see how many amps it is pulling, you might just need a whole new starter
too many amps will burn up things,get by a auto parts store and let them try a amp test <If you can> or if you have your own Meter.

 

I do have a meter but not sure how to to check the starter properly. What should it be?

 

Under the hood, behind the battery, is the electrical box, where the starter relay is. Try switching it with one of the other relays there.

 

Yep, switch it with the horn relay, on mine it was the same amps, did the trick for me!

 

Maybe your starter needs brushes??

 

Thanks for the relay tip. Will give it a shot.

 

Did you replace the plunger too?

 

I was haveing the same problem about 3 months ago. Was at the beach with the 5th wheel and was afraid I would not make it home. To make a long story short I had to replace the starter.
