[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 171000, member: 9512"] Admin, The heavy clicking you can hear in your video is the engagement solenoid on the pre-engaged starter throwing out then dropping back as the voltage drops in the battery, once it drops back it is de-energised and you have a back emf in the circuit this then throws the yolk forward again etc. Depending on the situation in the a.m. give me a ring as I am in my unit tomorrow night and I have probably all the test kit there including battery tester for car batteries, and a clamp meter which is sufficient to measure battery leakage current, it is also IN DOORS! I will also have a technician from the big local BMW dealership there with me, and he is not a typical main dealer technician, he has worked on all makes. He did not train at the main dealer, he trained at a small all makes garage and then kept himself in training from there. We have a few jobs to do but we can spare an hour to look at the Fiat if you want. Paul p.s. Out early later, so won't be back on if you want me txt or phone! [/QUOTE]
