Grounding issue??????
Putting this here since I'm unsure if this is engine or electrical related.
Came home from a weeks vacation and the car battery was dead. Jumped it and it started no problem. BUT, I get this noise when the key is turned to on. Either something is shorting on a ground, or arcing from a plug wire or something else entirely. It does stop after about 30-45 seconds though. Here's the link to the video. I'm gonna get in there and see what I can find but was curious to see if anyone else has experienced this. The car is an SC400.

Quality is crappy since I did it quick from my cell.
Thanks for any help.

have some insight now. Might be the starter contact points or solenoid. Since I have a free weekend, I guess I'll start getting into that starter! UGGGHHH!!!
Cody!!! Where are you man! You probably know what this is!!! HELP! LOL

Arrrrg - Nerocity, brother PLEASE post those images.. the higher the res the better. I have been trolling ebay since October of last year looking for set of 1993/4 year shop manuals as well as literally scouring the boards here looking for actual IMAGES of where the ground points are (and even better again the recommended ground points for an after market or DIY grounding compliment)
Pretty CRAZY please!

Where exactly is the solenoid? Attached to the end of the starter? Do I still need to get the intake off to replace the solenoid? Most of the motor is apart, up to the upper intake now but if I don't need to go further all the better!
