starting issue

so i went off-roading last week and got a lot of water and mud under the hood. now i have a hesitation when i go to start the truck. its like the solenoid doesn't close right away. it can take over a second sometimes. once it does start to roll the engine over it has no trouble getting the engine running.
any thoughts as to what it might be?
its been given a through power-washing under the hood since the symptoms started. and seems to be getting worse every time i turn the key.

any thoughts?

 

im thinking its the starting solenoid.

 

Check your battery terminals for corrosion and loose clamps, check the starter connections for the same. If that's good, the starter solenloid is the most likely culprit.

 

its the starter.
gunna try and get it rebuilt this afternoon.

anyone done one of these before? any tips for getting it off. i haven't had a look as to where it's located even.

 

thank man.
i guess i should have searched first eh. lol
next time>
