how do i do the jumper test because i could never get it to work when i tired it off the car..

mjr46

just put one side of the cable to the battery..turn key to on position and touch the jumper cable to the starter side of the selonoid

ramoyer1

i took off the wire to the starter to selonoid...

ramoyer1

can i put the jumper cable on the starter and then hook it to the battery or the selonoid???? it is the same thign and that check to see if my wire to my starter is too small

mjr46

yeah that should work as long as the starter is bolted to the block...cause it'll need to use the block as a ground through the case...if the neg cable from the battery goes down and bolts to the block your fine but if you bolted it to the body that may be a prob cause there needs to be a ground wire then from the block to the frame/body if you don't have one..but if your neg cable already goes to the block your fine

it was the post on my battery cables they were bad so i spent $2 and got 2 new ones and the jel stuff and it turns over like a charm

hmmmm...I'd invest in a test light and you could of determined that a long time ago

mjr46

depends on what type of alt you are using??/ internal voltage reg or external??
