Can a starter solenoid drain a battery?
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.
What would cause a power wire to burn from the starter to the battery?
why would my starter wire burn, going from starter to battery
What would cause a battery to drain in a 1989 mercury sable if it is not the power cords or alternator?
dead cell in the battery or something is on pulling power from the battery.
After using a multi meter to check the amps on your 89 Caddy 16mA is it possible for the starter to drain power as well with the car off?
I would say in a somewhat short period of time, a battery, assuming its in relatively good condition, would expire with its normal and expected drain if NOT running and recharging. Today's vehicles all drain something, keeping those digital clocks and radio stations alive plus multiple computers, need to feed somehow. Getting back to the starter, very doubtful something is wrong with starter. Couldn't tell you what is a " normal " mA drain would be. Every time I had a customer complain about his two-way radio killing the battery overnight I found his alternator undercharging the battery. use your multimeter to see if you have about 13.8 -14.2 volt charging. 16 ma drain would take 2week to affect a good battery so look at your battery if the charging circuit is ok.
Can you drive a 2004 excursion on a battery alone?
yes you can but i strongly suggest not using any electronics or you will drain your battery really fast as long as you have enough power to turn over the starter then your good to go.
Why would there be no power to the starter relay on your 1988 Ford F150?
It might be due to a dead battery or to a poor cable connection to the battery.
If you have a good alternator in your car why would it still lose power?
Bad battery, Parasitic drain.
Will battery lose power if starter is bad?
your battery will not lose power due to your starter being bad. if you have attempted to start the engine and did this for a long period of time with out the engine or an out side source of power charging the battery, it will eventually lose power, due to working and not charging. But for the original question, no the battery will not lose power if the starter is bad. hope this helps
Why would a 94 lesabre have no power to the starter solenoid?
The wire from the battery to solenoid is corroded & should be replaced.
What would drain wall running battery after replacing alternator and battery?
Something is on drawing power. Can be any light on the vehicle or a relay stuck.
Why is the starter not grounding out?
3 reasons either the starter is not getting power from the solenoid, solenoid is not getting power from the battery or starter is burned up.
Why dont i get full battery power from new battery the truck shows that the battery is like dead it cranks over really slow n it drains the battery and the cranking gets slower whats wrong?
Most likely the starter is "dragging" due to worn bushings. When the bushings wear, the starter will "drag" against the interior of the housing and barely spin, causing the battery to drain.
