So the battery is 2yrs old and I had it on the charger for most of the day... showed 13.6v on a multimeter. When I reconnected the battery, It made a knock similar to when a starter is locked up and you can tap it free (stuck solenoid?) I had tapped the starter while the battery was out btw. If I place the key in the ignition and turn to start, everything lights up but no cranking. I tapped the ignition/key while in the on position and it cranked for a second then started making the previous whirring/winding sound.
I put the car in reverse, took the key out, disconnected the battery, and the whirring finally stopped. Reconnected the battery, no key in ignition, and it cranked and lurched backwards until I pulled the terminal off the post. I did notice the burning electrical smell (like a burnt power tool)
Ignition? is there a write-up for removing/checking the ignition anyone know of?
Starter solenoid/relay? Does the solenoid have a motor that will spin even if the starter gears are not turning?
Thanks,
