Electrical problem
1999 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140k miles
My starter tests OK on the bench and through my starting system when not mounted. When I mount it and go to crank ther is one click from the solenoind and then nothing. The car goes completely dead, no lights, no power windows, no instrument panel, no any thing. During this phase of non cooperation there is only a 100mA current draw from the battery but the signal Voltage from the starter wire at the solenoid to ground 5.5 Volts. I'm stumped. SOS
