Ignition Help Please
I think my ignition might of puked. I have a 91, I dont think this is a common problem, but had anyone encountered this B4? Can anyone assist me in how to check it to see if this is my problem. Right now whenever I turn the key to start the car, theres like a short that will immedietaly put a load on the battery so large that it will drain it 100%. Thats it, any help would be great guys. Thanks Jason

Your comments don't quite make sense...
You say there is a short that drains the battery at crank, but the car does not crank??? Sound like a bad battery terminal to me, if the battery is in good condition??? Are you sure that the battery is putting out 12.5 volts??? Have you tested the battery for load/capacity? Is there a current draw in the car??? If there was that strong of a "short" you would be blowing the main fuse as well. |

Yes the car will not roll over, it would act like you had no battery at all. I have fully recharged the battery out of the car and have had it load tested, it tested fine. Terminals are clean. I have not checked any fuses as of yet, my next thing to check on thats on my list is the starter, but its so damn cold outside, plus a foot of snow!!! I have today off from work and need to get it resolved. THanks |
If you jump the starter at the starter does the car crank??
Either way it won't drain the battery all the way down just trying to crank once |
if no fuses are blown the starter wire could be shorting out. there are no fuses between the starter and battery. but check the fuses first.

Well, I dont know what to think now. First off let me say "I Hate Electrical Problems!!!" LOL I threw the battery back in the car after it had ben sitting in the house for 3 days. Hooked er up and the started, Drove it around a little, turned it off started, again and again and again. No problems, So maybe I did have some small bit of corrosion on the posts somewhere, I dont know. I guess time will only tell. Thanks Ice and Scott. Jason
