Ok since the car is pretty much rusted to the jack stands because its been on them so long I usually go out about every 3-4 months and crank it over to get oil pressure. Well the weather was nice this weekend and thought I would get it down on its feet and give it a bath.
Well I get it and all I get is a rapid 'click click click click' ok dead battery but its on the charger and the battery is checking good at 12.22 volt off the charger. Put the charger in start mode and try again. Same rapid clicking.
Well got on my back, got good voltage at the starter. I checked the ground and made an extra one to the motor just in case. So maybe after cranking on the starter for the last year, maybe it's burned up and it's gone bad. Get on my back again and struggle to get the starter out. Went to autozone and had it tested it. Tested fine. Solenoid engages and disengages fine, spins good. I put a wrench on the lower pulley and the motor spins fine.
So what am I missing? And yes I searched!
