Dead short ??

New Batteries. Check , New Alt. Check ....stilll no go ? Check ....... New batteries , new altinator ...... everything hooked up and batteries read .1 ........ unhook and batteries back to 12.5 .....

So I started nosing around with the Starter Solenoid Relay ..... if I take off the the wire to the Alt. I get power , if I put it back on no power and it sparks every time I touch the wire to the solenoid relay . Tryed a new solenoid relay and it did the same exact thing. Could this be a short in the Starter Solenoid itself ? ....... cause a dead short .....

Hve you traced out the wire you disconnected to see if it is shorted to the chassis somewhere along the way?
