New to me
So I get ready to start the car. Crank it a bit and it seems to be spinning over fine, but it may be a bit flooded as it doesn't start. Then from up in the front I hear a "thunk" sound and there is no more spinning of the starter and nothing electrical works. There is a slight buzzing sound from the starter solenoid and that's it, No lights, horn or anything else. This is a 12 volt negative ground setup. Battery won't take a charge, though lights and horn work with the charger hooked up. Left charge on for an hour and check, battery is stone dead. So What was the "Thunk" sound? Battery shorting out internally? In the morning I will try to charge the battery out of the car then take it to the parts house and have it tested. Can't say this has ever happened to me before, but that's exactly what the guy said when his horse died, "It never did that before." Any thoughts? I'm no electrician. Thanks in advance, Dave Mc Arthur
