Hello everyone, I am new!
I have a 1981 Peugeot 305SR wagon, 1.5L 73hp petrol engine. When it starts, everything goes very well; I have no problems with intake or adjustment. On the other hand, it happens regularly that when I try, the dashboard lights up but nothing happens to the starter, not a sound. And then a few hours later it works again as if nothing had happened . Yet my battery and alternator are healthy, I tested them. The contacts on the battery are good too. I thought it was a starter problem, but in general it works perfectly without failure. Do you have any idea what the problem is and what I can do?
PS: I’m French, if you are, don’t hesitate to reply to me in French, that works too!
Thank you for your advice!

Welcome to the forum Dédé!

You might want to check both positive and negative cables for corrosion / resistance, check all the ground and starter connections, and if the car uses a starter relay.  If your ignition switch is getting weak, you can also install a relay to help the starter get full signal to start.

Good luck!

Rabin is right about the wiring loom.

I had a similar problem, as it worked either fine or not at all for a long time I didn't suspect the wires.

 

Rabin a raison à propos du faisceau.

J'ai eu un problème similaire, comme ça marchait soit bien soit pas du tout pendant longtemps je n'ai pas soupçonné les fils.
