    Starting problems, now zero power!

    Problem solved!! It WAS battery after all.. I just didn't expect it to be so abruptly toast. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the culprit of my intermittent click as well. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Sorry to keep posting, but just checked battery voltage with key on and I'm only getting like 1.6 volts.. key off its at 12.9? Maybe it is battery after all (Walmart special)?

    Battery has worked just fine all year and it turns over nice and fast. 12.9 volts to it. Also it cut out abruptly when this occurred. I tried hitting the key a second time right after and I saw the buckle up light come on very dimly and fizzle out. Then nothing at all

    Yeah there is no power to anything whatsoever. I think the problem was initially a **** starter from auto zone which in turn burnt up my fusible link somewhere.

    So I jumped the solenoid to hot lead at starter and I'm getting nothing. I'm seeing sparks so I know I'm getting a decent arc but not spinning over. Still not sure why I have ZERO power to anything else though. I guess it might be possible that if things aren't right in the starter, it may cause...

    Thanks for that.. I'm thinking that may be the culprit. This thing has been acting funky out of the box. Did yours still have power to everything else but just no cranking? That's what is weird to me is it seems like I burnt up a disabled link, but they all check out fine! Weird..

    I'll try jumping the contacts and see what happens. Would a bad starter kill power to everything like that without blowing any fusible links you think? Just trying to wrap my head around it

    Hi all! New to the forum but have got lots of good info here in the past. I have an 86 Suburban with the 350 engine. I recently swapped out my old starter for a remanufactured Duralast starter. Right after I noticed it would intermittently click. I would have to hit the key again and it would...
