Got a Hitachi EX300, Isuzu engine. Many times when I turn the key to “start” I get a click sound that comes from near the batteries. Other times the engine turns over and starts normally. I recently installed a new ignition switch. I’ve still gotten the click a few times. Talked with the service department of the local Hitachi dealer. He said the click sounds like the start relay is working but the start solenoid is not engaging all the time and allowing the starter to rotate. Does this sound right? How do you check the start solenoid?
