- It's very normal for the terminals on the battery to get corrosion on them and form an insulation layer to the cable. Take the cables off and run a battery terminal cleaner over the terminals and in

- Lin, you may have a defective starter motor. I recently rebuilt mine. There was a flat spot on the commutator. Try this: Jack the car. Turn off the battery (disconnect one lead on the battery). Prise

- Thanks, Alex! I am using a new gear reduction starter, not the original. I don't think a faulty starter would cause this problem would it? I don't think a bad starter would cause the horn and lights

- Lin, if a starter was placing an excessive load on your battery what you say might be true. But an open winding or bad commutator would cause an electrical open, and there would be no other effect on

- There is a bad connection on one of the battery connections or ground connections. Probably in the battery switch. You need to have a test light and start accross the battery. put the clip on the gro
