    Hello. BMW E70 X-5 3.0xd, does not spin the starter. The car was off and did not start again. Battery replaced with a new one. Current on the + wire is. Voltage also appears on the starter control cable when START is pressed.

    Ask a question because you probably don't want to ask us what to do next if there is power and a signal on the starter? And why haven't you pulled out the starter yet?

    No, of course, it's already done and under the rectifier turns.

    Did you measure voltages on a connected starter? Maybe one dies under load?

    Connect the extra ground to the engine (starter).

    Yes, exactly on the left side member, but the fact was the reason. Thank you all for your time.
