Starter Question: Solenoid Start

[Rich_M]

I sometimes get a grinding noise when I hit my start button unless I press it in a specific way (pressure in lower left corner). If I push it with my index finger like ringing a doorbell, it works every time. If I use my thumb in gloves, it’s like 70%. Can I put a solenoid start button on the starter cover on my 2004 Ridgeback? Has anyone tried this?

Slam button? Yes you can use that if that’s what you’re referring to. However it’s not recommended for continuous use.
