Yes I can. I watch Eric O at South Main Auto.
It is a bad ground.that load can't find enough ground.The main ground to the aluminum head is corroded
Faulty engine or chassis ground. A little more poking around with the test light can pin point which one
Try tannerite
Faulty ground
Block ground
I would say the earth strap to the engine from the chassis is a poor connection
Aint got no oil in it
The problem is it’s a bmw
Good old common ground fault. Electrical does funky stuff when you have a bad ground. Lighting up the reverse light when you are trying to turn on the hazards and that sorta thing
Bad earth ground I think
Low tire pressure
Yep, in the rust belt you can expect the ground strap to deteriorate. The engine is floating on rubber mounts so no ground
GROUND STRAPS
Ground to engine
There's gotta be a short most likely in the starter
I see everyone saying bad ground, but if it was a bad ground wouldn't the test light not light? and even if it was a good ground hes going from 2 grounds if im understanding what im seeing here so that light shouldnt be lighting anyway, but then again I don't work on bmws….
Voltage drop connected to engine through a bad wire?
