Hey all,
Having a totally frustratng starting problem that has already cost me 2 parking tickets!! Argh.
For background, we're talking about a 1964 Ford Galaxie w/ 390 postitive engagement starter.
So the car just won't start. I've replaced the solinoid, the starter moter, and I've got the battery charged up (my home charger says it's full).
I'm grounding the soliodio terminals manually, and all that I hear is a click from the back of the engine compartment (not the starter) and then my whole electrical system goes real low (interior light goes real low, and my electric rear window goes dead) This continues until I disconnect the positive battery terminal and reconect it. Then the eletrical system is back to normal until I try to start again.
What's going on here? I really need to this baby back on the road.
