Subject: weird electrical
Maybe someone can help me with a weird electrical problem. I parked my
62 Sprite last Sunday and all was apparently fine. I went to start it
last night and here is what happened: After turning the key, the fuel
gauge came up, ignition light on dash came on, etc. When I pulled the
starter there was no sound, not even a click or grind. I recently
replaced the solenoid, so I thought the cable may have slipped, but it
was fine. I tried shorting across the solenoid, but there was nothing.
The same at the starter. I cleaned the negative terminal on the battery,
and the ignition wire going to the solenoid. Still nothing. A voltmeter
showed 12 volts at the battery and the solenoid. A weird thing is I
brushed up against the coil, and it was real hot?!? I gave up and pulled
the hot side cable off the battery and told myself, "self, the list will
know just exactly what to do!" Any advice?
Thanks,
Joe Lansing
