It is usually connected to a remote positive terminal and tightened down with a nut. If that loosen, then you will have starting the engine as the power could not go through that loose cabling on the remote positive terminal. One way to find out if the starter or battery is the problem, is to use a remote starter switch. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=35448 All you have to do is connect one end of the clip to the battery positive terminal and then the other one on the starter. You just push the button and it should spin the starter which turns over your engine. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
