Need more information, please. Do you mean it doesn't crank when hot? What exactly do you mean by hot?

Did you replace the original starter with this new unit because of the same symptoms?

So what you mean is the old unit would do the same thing when the engine got hot?

they both do the same thing , must be a safety feature , replaced the fan control switch , checked the relays with ohm meter , not sure where to go now .

I have a 2002 nissan maxima , when it gets hot all it will do is click the soleniod and won't start . Then when it cools down it will it will start 50 times in row if you keep doing it . I replaced the starter with a new one and it gets hot and does the same thing , you just hear the soleniod click . I watch and time the fans and they seem to not be running very long to cool down the motor , I then changed the tempature control switch . The fans stay on about a 3 min time differents than the old switch , at this point I checked and replaced the relays and this made no different . I drove the car to the store which it got hot again and all it did was click the soleniod , I let it cool down for about a 1/2 hr and it started up and I drove home where it did the same thing again .

If the solenoid is clicking, then the whole circuit is fine. You either have insufficient current to the starter or a bad starter.

If the starter solenoid is clicking, then all the switching circuitry has done it's job and it just needs current supply from there. Try jumping it right at the starter.

Then it wasn't your solenoid that you heard clicking and you're going to have to troubleshoot the rest of the circuit.
