Alright guys here is my problem. I just got my whole motor assembled I changed pretty much everything. I went to turn the car over for the first time, put the key in, I got power cause my gauges moved, I turned it and got a click.
Now first let me say my starter is bad, I think it is the solenoid because when I hit it, itll start.
So knowing that I got out and started hitting it. When i went to try it again I had no power at all. My lights wont turn on or anything. I tried wiggling some wires around but still no power at all.
I am getting 12v at the battery with the key out, but when I put the key on it drops down to 2v. I suspected the battery had drained so I went and tested it today and it came up perfect. My next guess is a bad ground. What grounds would cause this? I know there are two grounds under the coil, there is a ground wire behind the driver side shock tower that goes to the battery, and there is an engine ground that goes from the starter bolt to the battery.
Everything looks alright but this thing is my next suspect. When I got the car this little box was attached to the negative battery terminal. The car worked fine, but I moved it over to where it is now to get it out of the way, and I was starting to have some problems getting a good contact. Do you guys think where I have it is not a good enough ground? Where SHOULD this thing go?
