Subject: [FWDLK] Battery sparking .
.
-but the clock would
wind itself once and then not ?spark? again for several minutes- (did we
already eliminate a after-market radio?)
Reading with interest the issue of a small spark when
the second battery terminal is connected. Several causes have been
mentioned, all can cause the spark. One that has not been mentioned is
inter-wire capacitance (wire to wire, wire to chassis, etc.). Which one
it is can be tested. Simply remove the battery wire and touch the
battery a second time. If spark, light, clock, etc. If no spark,
the problem is ignorable because it is inter-wire capacitance and the
capacitor has been charged. Big spark is a whole different issue.
Hope this helps.
