Hello all. I have a 1989 Thunderbird SC that I bought almost a year ago and have had no problems up until about a week ago.
The Problem: Car won't start
Its not the battery: I tested it and it is holding 12 V
Not the starter: The car turns over once but won't start but as soon as I jump it with Jumper Cables, it starts right up; no need to charge. Drove the car around for 30 minutes everything runs fine, park the start then try to restart right away and same thing, turns over once and won't start. I'm getting a clicking noise too from the cylonoid or however that's spelled.
I don't think its the alternator because the battery isn't dead. Like I said the battery is holding a charge and itsn't dying. Powerwindows rolling up and down at normal speed without a feel of power loss.
I have already replaced and cleaned the positive and neg battery terminals so I know that isn't the problem either.
What the heck else could it be???
