I've spent two days researching this all over and while there's a lot of great information, I couldn't find an answer for why I'm getting this in my diagnose.
I'm getting no crank at all. Terminals are clean, the battery is putting out 12Vs, lights come on with full power, radio, and interior dash works. But not crank at all and no symptoms this was coming. Parked it one afternoon and the next 30 minutes would not crank.
The starter is getting 12V at the + connection from the battery. But where I'm puzzled is the S connection is getting 12V without turning on the ignition. Every thing I've read says it should show 0 volts until someone turns on the engine. After it's turned on it still show 12Vs.
???
Does this still point to a bad starter??
I also tried starting it with the screwdriver method, it cranked but it did not start.
I have not found anything about what this could mean. ?
Thank you in advance for you help.
