We are having a lot colder winter than normal out here in the PacNW with temps staying low even in city at almost sea level, this has brought to light an interesting problem with my Nytro. Three times in the past two weeks my starter solenoid has frozen. I don't have a heated garage thus if temps don't get over 35 or so, my sled doesn't defrost after a good pow romping. That and while on road trip in Oregon over the holidays, my sled sat in the back of my truck for a few days in 0-8 degree temps.
Anyways, each time, same deal, turn the key, nothing, throws up some error code which is totally wrong (crankshaft position sensor). So then I pull the starter solenoid and replace with the nice warm one from my BC pack and she fires right up. It's a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance. Surprised that east coasters don't hit this all the time. Maybe everyone has a heated garage but me.
Anyone else see this? Any fix ideas minus just swapping it like I've been doing? Really it only takes like five minutes, but give my Cat friends five minutes to clown me and they'll brew up a sh-it-storm.
