Electrical problems
Drove to work. Everything ok. When starting to go home again it fired right up. Died after two seconds. Nothing unusal so far. Tries to start again. Just some "ratteling" from what I think was the starter solenoid. Trying once more- stone dead! Not even a little clickfrom the soilenoid. Hmmm, checked voltage at battery, 12,8V. Used a wire to bypass the starter soilenoid. Starter turns just fine, but no start. Then I find out that all my lights are gone too except the dome light, which also turns off when I pull the headlight switch. Then I put on the hazard light- the only thing blinking is the dome light?!? Then I replaced the starter soilenoid. Starts right up and lights are ok :-) BUT the next time I tried to start, everything was back to the same. No click at the soilenoid. Lights gone. Checked voltage from battery to soilenoid. Drops to 2,7V when engaging the key. Checked battery again.12,8 V when key is off. Any ideas?

Think I was rushing a little to fast. Been in the garage and looked over it again. The cable from battery to terminal at starter soilenoid was a little loose. Tightened it and tried again. Looks fine for now. So now I am back again thinking it was the starter soilenoid who caused the problems. Thanks!
