All,
Having an issue with what I believe is either the starter or starter wiring. The car cranks up and occasionally hear a banging sound as if someone is literally trying to start the car while its already running.
I got under the hood to see if I can get a better grasp of what's going on, and found something very odd - with car off, as soon as I jiggle the positive battery cable even the slightest, the engine tries to crank as if someone is actually sitting inside turning the key.
Kept attempting to crank until finally I had to unhook battery.
The fact that it does this simply by jiggling/moving the cable, does this indicate that it may be a simple wiring issue down at the starter..ie terminals need tightened/adjusted/Terminals touching?
Anyone have any input?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or input.
