[QUOTE="67Rally, post: 1040378, member: 75534"] Thanks for the feedback. The battery voltage was at 13.2 and it was only 6mos old. What we found out was that the battery (an Interstate) was bad and it wasn't putting out enough CCAs and so, the solenoid and starter fried as a result. All of the terminals are always clean and tidy and in full contact. After replacing the starter and battery, the charging system is running properly and with good CCAs. To add insult to injury, one of the lines of the steering rack split dumping all of the power steering fluid (this, I learned after the fact). The power steering pump emptied and seized cooking the serpentine belt while I was driving on the freeway. I had no idea that anything happened until my battery started draining. Then I looked and saw the temp was climbing rapidly. I pulled off the freeway and just as I got to the roadside, something let go (the thermostat housing) and I started dumping fluid. That was a fun day last week. [/QUOTE]
