Listers, A month or so ago I asked about an electrical issue I was having. It was a no start issue but the car would start with a jumper cable from the battery to the starter solenoid. After a great deal of testing, cussing and frustration, I found that with car jumped (see above) and the jumper cable removed, the battery was not being charged. I connected an 18 Gage wire to the battery and then to my volt meter and then to the solenoid. I was touching the battery post and the center of the cable connector at the solenoid. I would always get 12 volts before starting the car but the car would not start. I discovered that the battery solenoid cable was badly corroded inside the connector and not passing current from the center of the actual cable to the connector. So while I thought I had power thru the cable to the solenoid, I actually did not. I replaced the entire cable and the car started instantly. The battery was now also being recharged. When I removed the original battery cable I discovered that behind the panel the cable passes thru at the battery, had what appeared to be some sort of electrical choke. The "choke" is about 1 1/2" long and about 1" in diameter. This "choke" appears to be burned or at least overheated in some manner. I did not replace this"choke" and things seem fine. Anyone know what this"choke" is all about? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
