I replaced the alternator (went bad) over the weekend. Now all I get when I try to start the car is a "click click click", sounds like the solenoid working. Battery reading 12.65, reading 12.65 at the cables an inch away from the batter (so not a battery connection). Can barely get my arm to the starter (up, in and under a bunch of things, why do all these engineers think we want to be contortionists?)but it feels like the cable there is tight.
Checked the starter relay by replacing it with a new one, no change.
What am I missing. Only thing I can think of that would cause there to be any change from before I changed the alternator is that I didn't disconnect the battery and sparked the wire from the top of the alternator on the wrench as it all was going back together. Is there another fuse/relay that I'm missing?
