1994 900s non-turbo 188k, went overseas for urgent business for 3 months
took a year to get back, car sitting in storage unit in a covered garage
When I tried for 1st start last week, battery dead and jumpping would hardly have the starter making an attempt to start, put a good replacment battery to get it to start, at 1st it was slugish to even make an attempt to start and the panel lights were flickering as though a heavy load was connected, then started hearing very rapid clicking sounds with no true attempt at starting just rapid clicking, then came back the next day with an even better and stronger battery and there was heaviness in the attempt in starting with flickering lights again, there is no feel that the starter is engaging the flywheel, sounds like the starter is gone or the solenoid is damaged.
Any opinion is welcomed, is a rebuilt unit from the national autoparts
stores reliable, could the unit be rebuit cheaper than a buying a whole refurbished one, LIVE near boston (New Hampshire - MA border)
THANKS in Advance
