[QUOTE="Dudewado, post: 1395112, member: 361"] I finally got there. I had it narrowed down to a bad starter, ground cable, or ground connection when Ionbeam PM'd me and pointed out a bad connection wouldn't let it pull such high amperage. (Thanks Allen!) So, starter it is. On a 2014 with 16,200 miles. I ordered a new starter from Partzilla, (for $343 with free shipping), and started disassembly. From reading an old thread started by wfooshe, I knew what had to come off: -Fuel tank -Tool tray -Air box -T-brace -Fuel injection Manual says whole fuel injection assembly has to come out, but after loosening the clamps, I was able to pull the assembly from the manifolds and move it out of the way without disconnecting the throttle cables or any wire connectors or hoses. If you have a decent set of tools, it's not as hard as it looks. Getting to the screws for the clamps on the rubber boots requires different lengths of extensions, a 4mm allen socket, and a 4 mm t-handle. The only other hard part is the drain hose on the bottom of the air box. I had to use a hemostat to hold the hose in place, then push it on when the air box was almost seated. Also, having a cell phone camera makes life so much easier than it used to be. When I hooked it all back up and pushed the start button, I realised that my old starter must have been slowly slowing down over time without me noticing. The new starter spins a whole lot faster. Thanks for the help. John [/QUOTE]
