One of my Xs has developed this annoying intermittent behavior where sometimes it won’t crank even thought the starter relay clicks, voltmeter confirms that I’m getting full voltage at the terminals, ground is good. So I poke/whack the top of the housing a few times with a broomstick and then it cranks and I’m good for the next few starts - clearly something inside is sticking.
Do I take the starter apart, clean/lubricate anything that looks like it might be sticking? Or is my intermittent failure a sign of more serious problems requiring a full rebuild or outright replacement?
