Dead CPU??

Are you sure you don't have a locked up engine. Turn the key off and make sure you can turn the engine by hand (socket on the crank damper bolt). Loud click at starter making the lights go out sounds like a seized engine, a bad starter or wiring is still not right. When you jump the big fender sol. terminals, do they get hot?

They dont get hot as I can recall, Ill check the engine in the Am, but Im pretty sure its not seized. Ill update then. Thanks. Could it be the battery?

Turns fine by hand. Here is what the starter looks like:


New battery coming soon.

Looks like it should work. Has the starter been bench tested to make sure it works?

[306Guy]

sure has...its good

Are you getting voltage to the large wire going to the starter when cranking?

Make sure the small trigger wire on the starter relay is getting 12v in crank mode also.
