Hello,
sorry for all the switching of forums. To get up to speed go to the chit chat area. I'm new from Alabama. Trying to get a series 1 running. I have lots of ambition to get this great car running. I'm counting on this group to help me out with the knowledge.
My solenoid is clicking but the engine doesn't turn over. As suggested I put a wrench across the terminals. I didn't have the key in so I'm not sure if I did it correctly. The solenoid just clicked each time I'd put the wrench to it, just like when I turn the key.
what should I do next? I attached a pic of the car, and one of the solenoid showing what looks like brown lamp wiring and one of the wires is broken. I'm seriously considering a total rewire job with a new wire harness. I don't plan to add lots of electrical components. I do want to figure out what drains the battery, switch to an alternator and maybe go to neg. ground.
any and all tips, tricks, hints and info is greatly appreciated.
Caroline
