I recently removed my battery to clean the tray and surrounding area of coolant (had a hose blow up a few weeks prior). I put the battery back in, started it up, and drove to the gas station. After i tried turning it back on, it just made a rapid clicking noise. Got a jump, started right up. So now its only starting when I jump it, its starting right up and running decent, a little low on voltage though according to the dash. I think I must have broken some connection when i was taking out the battery, theres a lot of brittle wires near the solenoid. The battery is at 12.6 V when the car is off. Around 12 V when running, and around 14 when I rev it up a little. So all this tells me that: Alternator, battery, and starter are all good. I took off the negative battery cable while it was running to check the alternator and it died immediately, but im still gaining voltage when i rev it. Im very confused now and not super good with wiring can someone point me in the direction of what i should check next?
