Battery is fully charged and the car started without a hitch two days ago. Battery is still showing 13 volts, but the car will crank one or two times and the volts drop dramatically. I even tried jumping it and it does the same the. Bad starter?

i don't think bad starter would cause volts drop. i'm no 100% sure though.

Does the car not even crank, as in you turn the key, big voltage drop and then nothing? Have you tried tapping the starter to get it to move and see if that helps? When my S4's battery finally called it quits it was VERY hard to jump start.

I've trying jumping it with another car and it does the same thing when being jumped. I'll take the battery in tomorrow, before I start taking anything else apart.

Do you think that a bad solenoid could do it?
