Glen, I aggree with Mark, sounds like the solenoid. But first I would check battery connections, and where the negative battery cable connects to the car body. Also check the ground strap between the frame and the engine near the alternator. If you have a weak connection at any of these places you may get 12 volts with no load, but not enough when activating the starter causing the clicking. I did not like the original route for the negative battery cable to the body, and instead have mine connected to the engine near the starter bolts. You still need the ground strap from frame to body. One other thing you could try is jumping the start connector on the solenoid directly from the positive battery post. If all this fails and your sure the battery is charged, then it has to be the solenoid. Swap in your spare one and test it. Gary Last edited on 01-29-2006 12:12 am by Gary Martin JH 15371 |
