In a 1982 VW Rabbit can a faulty starter solenoid cause voltage drain?

It can, but not probable. In my experience (17 years now) with Volkswagons, of which I have owned a few 82's, what is more than likely causing your problem is a faulty ground wire, probably at the starter/battery connection or at the trans-mount area....both are notorious for the wire grounds to rust completely thru...Hope this helps!

Why is there no voltage to glow plug when ignition is on 1992 bobcat 753 skid steer?
fault starter/cable, faulty solenoid, faulty wiring harness, or undercharged battery.
Boat starter will not engage up it just spins?
Provided the starter drive is not spun, one of the following areas is probably at fault. A weak battery A poor, or loose connection (at battery, or solenoid / starter). Dirty or rusted starter drive splines. Possibly, but not probable, a faulty starter.
Car won't start clicks?
I just had the very same thing happen to me yesterday. My truck had been making that noise for about 2 weeks and then yesterday I went to start my truck and it died on me. My husband put in a new battery and it started right back up! It's alive!! If it is not your battery then it could aslo be your starter, but have your battery checked first. I hope that this helped:)
Why do I hear a clicking noise when turning the key in the ignition then on the 3rd try the car does start?
The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.
What will cause a starter solenoid to burn out?
1. the battery must be in good working order (not enough amperage will burn out starter) 2. the conditions from the battery to the body and to the starter are in good working order (not enough amperage will burn out starter) 3. the wiring from the ignition switch to the start is in good condition 4. the ignition switch is returning back from the start position (return spring) 5. there is no dust or contamination in the main body of the start (duel mass flywheel - worn clutch) 6. faulty electronic fuse box back feeding to the starter solenoid (no voltage should be present when the starter is not being engaged) 7. wear and tear (age - millage) without seeing the vehicle this is only guess work.
Why would the starter stay engaged after vehicle starts on 92 Topaz?
Either the ign. switch is faulty, or the starter is faulty Or the starter solenoid is stuck closed, so the starter is constantly engaged and getting voltage from starter relay. If so you would need to replace the solenoid.
What does the clicking sound from the solenoid mean on an Oliver tractor?
Could be low battery voltage, a poor connection(s) of wires, a bad starter, or a faulty solenoid.
Why is there no voltage to glow plug when ignition is on 1992 bobcat 753 skid steer?
fault starter/cable, faulty solenoid, faulty wiring harness, or undercharged battery.
ENGINE wont turn over on 350?
Check that battery volts are at least 11.8, and terminals are tight. Check for same voltage at starter when key is turned. - If no volts at the starter, the solenoid is faulty. If there is a charge at the starter and it does nothing then it, or it's ground are faulty.
What makes a car make a clickig noise but wont start?
A low or dead battery. Loose or dirty battery cable connections. Faulty starter. Faulty starter solenoid.
Why does my Toyota tercel click when I try to start it?
This is usually a sign that your battery is dead or close to it. sometimes it can be a faulty starter though or even starter solenoid/relay.
What causes it not to start 1985 Plymouth Voyager SE mini van?
Not much info to go on. Is the starter cranking the engine?
What would make a starter not work?
Battery condition/charging system, Dirty/loose battery connections, Dirty/loose connections at the starter, Worn out starter solenoid, Worn out brushes in starter motor, Worn out starter drive gear/flywheel assembly, Faulty or out of adjustment neutral safety switch, Faulty starter relay,
What else can I check for 1994 Nissan Sentra 1.6L Manual that only clicks when you turn the key Have checked battery and starter replaced ignition switch and fuses Still nothing Thanks?
One of two things can cause this clicking without a response from the starter, 1 the contacts inside the solenoid are burned or dirty and 2 the starter itself is faulty. The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. I would assume that this is where the click is coming from there are two large terminals on this solenoid. One is the Battery power direct from the battery and the second is the output to the starter motor. The solenoid is basicaly and electromagnetic switch or relay that makes contact between that battery and the starter when you turn the key. Take a piece of heavy duty wire or a screwdriver and bridge the two bolts on the solenoid where the terminals are afixed , if the starter then turns you can be sure that the solenoid is faulty If the stater does not turn when bridging these two points then you can be sure that there is a fault in the starter motor Hope this is of help
Why would the starter try to engage while the engine is already running?
If you're implying that it engages without you turning the key, the problem is one of the following: * a faulty wire somewhere, * the starter solenoid was connected wrong * or the solenoid return spring has broken.
What would cause a new starter not to work on a 1996 VW Jetta?
bad battery. bad ignition switch bad solenoid or the new starter is faulty,has been known to happen
How do you know if a non starting problem on a Volvo 240 GL is due to a faulty solenoid as opposed to the starter itself?
Remove the starter and take it to your local auto parts store for testing.
