Escort wiring issue

Evening all

 

Having a right nightmare with me escort. It's a 1300 and I recently fitted an electronic ignition, with a new coil. Anyway, had loads of starting issues and realised the coil was a ballast coil? So fitted a new old coil but kept the elec ignition in, now however when the battery is charged, everything connected up the starter motor 'clicks' and the battery is flattened instantly. This has happened twice now.

 

I'm a bit useless at the electric side of things, only just worked out the ballast coil thing,and had a look at the wiring diagram in the manual, but it's starting to mess with my mind!!! :banghead:

 

Has anyone got any ideas what it could be, the starter motor doesn't spin, but I have dash lights up before I turn the key, then nothing.

 

If anyone's got any ideas, would be very grateful. Cheers all :thumbsup:

When an electrical fault cant be sussed out its proper head fuk

 

I've got a pukka set of 140mph/8k clocks but cant get them to work properly, I know it'll be something simple, but I just don't know what :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Depends what starter you have ?

 

I'd look at starter connections and measure what voltage you have from the main battery terminal to the solenoid.

 

 

Always worth also checking the earths, sounds like you have a bad connection threats breaking down when your putting it under load which oftens happens with electrical faults.
