2006 Ford Focus ZX3 4 cyl 2.0L
The other day I went to start my car and I think I saw a small quick flash under the hood and the car wouldn't start. I checked and cleaned battery. Its putting out 12.3 volts. Checked neg terminal for resistance, less than 1 ohm. Replaced the starter. Getting roughly 8.3 volts there. (possible short somewhere?) When key is turned to "ON", I get an uneven ticking sound from starter area, but the starter isn't turning on. Headlights, turn signals, emergency flashers, alarm don't work. Dash lights blink erratically. Honking the horn makes a buzzing sound at fuse panel. When I try to jump start, I get a buzzing sound from starter relay area on fuse panel when key is turned to start.
Any ideas? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
