Question

Technician A says that the Starter Main Circuit typically does not include a fuse or other circuit protection device. Technician B says the Starter Main Circuit does not include a ground wire, but grounds through the body of the starter instead. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Technician A is correct in stating that the Starter Main Circuit typically does not include a fuse or other circuit protection device. Technician B is also correct that the Starter Main Circuit does not include a ground wire, but grounds through the body of the starter instead.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of automotive electrical systems, Technician A is correct. The starter main circuit typically does not include a fuse or other circuit protection device. This is because the starter motor requires a high current to operate, and the use of a fuse or circuit breaker would likely cause it to trip due to the initial surge of current required.

Technician B is also correct. The starter main circuit does not include a ground wire, but instead, grounds through the body of the starter. This grounding allows the electrical current to flow through the starter motor and initiate the engine's cranking process.
