<DIV>Looks to me not to be a “choke” but rather a moulded join in the cable – by
perhaps a previous owner ?</DIV>
<DIV>BTW just being a little pedantic “chokes” are used with AC current only;
there is no reason to install a resistor - you want minimum volt drop from batt.
to solenoid as you discovered.</DIV>

<DIV>Listers,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV></DIV>
