Why does energizing the starter solenoid cause a dead short on the battery and is there any circuit protection - 1982 Buick Regal?
AlC
No,there is no circuit protection between the battery and the starter. If the starter is causing a dead short to ground, there is definitely something wrong with the starter. Pull it and have it checked. The switch that engages the high current is inside the starter. If the starter is fried and perhaps something melted to ground, every time you engage it you will get a dead short.

The starter solenoid completes the circuit between the battery and the?
Starter motor.
How do you jump a starter from the battery?
jump out the solenoid or relay. This will close the circuit for the high current.
What is the requirement for energizing a 120 volt circuit breaker?
Before energizing a breaker for a circuit, the circuit has to be clear of any short circuits or grounds. This can be accomplished by the use of a megger on the correct voltage setting.

battery. key circuit, or solenoid.
What would cause a starter to keep engaging by itself?
Most likely the solenoid or wiring depending on the vehicle. A starter needs 2 things to operate. A current to close the circuit in the solenoid (small wire/trigger wire) and a power source to turn the starter itself (large battery cable). Battery cable goes directly to the starter from the positive battery terminal with an on/off switch in between (solenoid). The trigger wire (small wire) controls the solenoid by closing the circuit when there is power supplied to the small wire. If there is no power at the small wire then the solenoid must be stuck in the closed position unless the large battery cables to the solenoid are connected incorrectly.
What is the purpose of the battery in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit

What takes place when the energizing of a chime circuit as the push button is pushed?
Electrical current in solenoid creates a magnetic field.Magnetic field in solenoid pulls in armature.Armature causes striking mechanism to produce first chime of bell.Interruption of electrical current in solenoid causes magnetic field to collapse.Spring pulls armature out of solenoid.Armature causes striking mechanism to produce second chime of bell.Electronic doorbell chimes work differently, offering more options.

Can a varistor be used as a circuit protection device?
No, a circuit protection device must open the circuit on a fault current or overload.
Do you have to ground your 351 ford motor for it to turn over?
The negative wire from your battery should go strait to the body and from the body to the bolt that's holding your starter to the transmission for it to turn over.Positive should go from the battery positive terminal to the solenoid in your right fender and from the other contact of the solenoid strait to the terminal on your starter.Putting a screwdriver between the contacts of the solenoid in your fender should close the circuit and activate the starter motor.
Does the 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue have a starter solenoid?
Every car with an electric starter has a starter solenoid. That is how cars work. When you start the car, only a trickle of electricity goes through the wire. That trickle of electricity goes to the solenoid. That trickle of electricity tells a magnet, "Get busy." The magnet closes a switch. The switch completes a circuit between the battery and the starter. Then the starter engages and your engine starts. That switch is your solenoid. If you find your starter, you can trace the wire back to the switch. You will see where another wire from that point attaches to the battery. Now you know the location of your solenoid.
