Transmission ground arc'ing out


Recommended Posts

What's happening? So quick question for you guys...

 

So when I try to start the car nothing is happening except for the rad fan turning on and the starter is not clicking.

 

So I manually tried to start the car with an 8-g wire from the battery to the solenoid, and the starter is now clicking and intermittently turning over.

However when I do this the transmission ground is arc'ing out...Which needs to stop.

 

Any idea what the cause is? I'm quite lost and getting annoyed.

 

Starter & battery are brand spanking new as well.

I've cleaned up the thermostat ground so it's nice and shiny too.

 

Thanks a bunch!

well look at the 2 places it arcing. There is resistance between those 2 points. Fix it.

 

Odds are you need to:

Replace the wire and leads

Clean the area better

Ensure continuity between the T-Stat housing and the block
