[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1263551, member: 277"] Yes, in following diagnostic steps. Test the power source, test the power delivery (wires & connections), test the switched power (relay), then if all that passes the only thing left is the starter. This is why I asked about owning a volt meter and being comfortable knowing how to use the meter. Charge the battery, give it a half hour to an hour for the 'float charge' to dissipate and then measure the battery voltage and the decimal point value matters a whole lot. If we see a solid 12.8 volts or better then it's time to look at cranking voltage. I haven't put out a diagnostic plan yet awaiting to hear about the volt meter... [/QUOTE]
