>>27600052Not your personal Google
>>27600052Loose positive at starter
>>27600052It's a shitbox and you've proven that every fault is independent of every other fault.You have unrelated problems that don't affect eachother. Any pseudo-pattern you see is because you do not have any mechanical or technical understanding and think electronics are voodoo magic.
>>27600584wtf lol>>27600472Thanks. Any thoughts on why the starter starts fine when I turn the fan on and off?
>>27600700Mechanical "grind" doesn't give a shit about another electrical device.It's all in your head dude.>correlation =/= causation.
Do you understand what grounding is for? It just puts the electronics at the same potential as your battery. It was common (no pun) for older electronics not to use a grounding cable but now it's generally required to keep an electrically sound (no pun) system. https://googlethatforyou.com?q=ford%201992%20laser%20motor%20starter%20grind
>>27601175It very much only started grinding immediately after I swapped the radio. first start up. Had the car for months prior with no issues. pretty sure the loud squealing grind isn't in my head. >>27601438I appreciate the condescending reply. I wasn't sure what exactly to google so thank you. I've swapped radios on all my cars no issues so I just curious what I did wrong this time.
You write like a retard and I can barely understand you. Check the cables to the starter and manually check every relay under the hood. You 100% sure you didn't blow a fuse? Check the underhood fusebox. Sounds like you shorted DC on your radio and blew some type of relay or fuse which means starter isn't getting enough power. You can manually direct wire your starter from the battery as a test to prove its not actually a starter issue but some electrical problem. I would bet money you just blew a relay or fuse. Go through and manually pull every single one amd inspect them.
>>27603277>I appreciate the condescending reply.Sorry bro. The electrical part was serious, but the lmgtfy was all condescension on purpose.
