Hi Nelson,  

I'm guessing that you need to double check the power and ground circuits for the starter. Ensure the cables and the connections for both ground and power are good at the starter, battery, and the altenator. Take each one off and clean them thoroughly with a wire brush.)  

I had a similar issue on my mothers car years ago and it turned out to be a ground connection that visibly looked fine, but it had a lot of corrosion under the bolt.. Once hot there was too much resistance and it wouldn't start. Cables can also corrode internally as well - so watch for that.  

If that solves the issue, you might want to test your old starter as well with direct 12V source - since the issue may have been connections/cables all along.

Subject: [Peugeot-L] Peugeot 604 - Starter motor & alternator compatibility

Hi all.

I just got an '82 604 SL v6 and I am working on my starter and altenator.

  1. The original Ducellier 6238 motor starter is too weak to crank the car, so I bought a bosch version intended for volvo 264 since the share the same PRV engine platform. I add a relay to the ignition switch to have enough charge to crank the motor. It works fine.. until the engine reach the working temperature. If I switch off the igniton, I just won't start until half an hour or more. When its cooler it cranks again as if nothing happened. Wiring is Ok, I have it wired as drawn like in the 604 workshop manual. Is the bosch starter incompatible with the original Ducellier?
  2. My pug's 70 amp alternator have charging problems. It hat a cut out module and when the car runs, the battery went dead after an hour drive. Ok, I know.. bad alt. A friend of mine lent me a pug 405 alternator with built in voltage regulator IC. My question is, what is the output of a 405 alt? Appreciate for help.

Thanks,
