[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 440371, member: 21229"] 9amps is not told where. or was 9 amps really volts and if yes is bad. and a huge clue to the cause. tell how tests are done get 10x better answers. I own a DC amp clamp meter. to measure amps and not break the circuit. my solenoid WIRE used 8amps for current cranking and is 11vdc doing so not 9v ever. most solenoids chatter like woodpecker,at 8vdc. rattaatata tat. the starter pulls 100amps (sure more if temps hit 32f or lower, use 5w-30 oil up North. 6cyl. version more, 150amps. off RED main battery cable. clamped. best tests are on car tests. that is for sure. ask how. it is not hard. at all, just simple tests at first. lugs rusty is 99% of cause. ask a tow truck man. (AAA tow) [/QUOTE]
