Hi All

Well I'm beginning to have starter problems... again!  My '85 Transporter is
on it's third starter since I've owned it.  It works out to about 10K miles
per starter.

Question: is this unusual and if so, any ideas why it's happening?

This time, I can get the motor to operate but only only with a jump.  My
battery is fine.  I've been told that this suggests an incomplete short
somewhere in the starter circuit.

Question:  any suggestions of where to look for this short before I crawl
around for half a day checking here and there?

Thanks for any help anyone might be able to offer.
