[QUOTE="FJRDarksider, post: 124851, member: 22866"] It appears what's happening is there is either a short/bad ground/relay/voltage regulator issue. The noise is from the starter as the solenoid is intermittently engaging.....thus forcing the gear into the flywheel (ouch). I pulled it off and there doesn't appear to be major damage. When this happens, the ammeter needle drops in unison so I am not sure if the cause is a bad/faulty starter solenoid, or starter relay, or voltage regulator from the alternator (I already replace the ignition switch with no change). I am thinking it might be the voltage regulator as it takes about 20-30 seconds to reach 14.6 volts to the battery......strange. The contacts on the solenoid were a tad corroded so I will clean it up and give it another go...... Am I on the right track or way off? [/QUOTE]
