Many times this will do exactly what you describe. The cable looks great visually, but the connections to the lead terminal do not connect to the cable. Not easy to diagnose because a meter will show 12 volts, it will drop to 10 when someone hits the starter as it should. But there is no amperage to roll it over. My bet is in a cable from the starter to the battery. [Reply]   [No Email]

I did run jumpers to the starter to increase cable area with no change. I was able to jump to the starter and make it spin. I then turned the key to get the klunk and then jumped to the starter and it turned over. It turned slow, but it is cold and the touch connect does not carry many amps. Smoke rolled of the back of the solinod bottom terminal. Must be a back solinod??? [Reply]  [No Email]
