You changed the battery in your 1989 crown Victoria and it wont start and wont make any noise at all?

First make sure that this battery has a charge. Check its volts. Then if the battery is good, make sure the conectionns are clean. Then clean the connection to the starter relay ( solenoid ) just beside the battery. Then if needed, clean the conx. at the starter. If all the conx. are good, and still no start, jump the positive battery conx. at the starter relay to one of the small plug in conx. If the starter engages, then possible bad ign. switch. Hope something works. Good luck.


You think your starter solenoid is bad how do you test it?

If I were testing it, I'd use a jumper wire from the direct battery lead to the ignition switch starter contact that's on the starter. If the solenoid engages and turns the starter I'd know the solenoid is good. If not, I'd verify that the battery and cable is good before pulling the starter. Not knowing anyone else's level of comfort/competence, I wouldn't recommend that procedure if you don't know your way around the described components.

You want to bypass the ignition system and jump the solenoid to see if the starter engages. I f it does, it is not the starter,if it doesn't, than it is the stater. You can also jump power straight from the batt to the pos cable of the starter to see if it engages.

Why does energizing the starter solenoid cause a dead short on the battery and is there any circuit protection - 1982 Buick Regal?

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.
