cab is now up so at starter solenoid easier. Solenoid (+) would be big heavy lug correct? and ground on starter.. would be one with strap going to chassis? Going at this by myself so will have to do some acrobatics to do as requested. Luckly been doing acrobatics majority of my life...
well after sitting four days after typical daily use.. now mine has done this but never turns starter long enough to "start" (acts like bad battery) Engine tries to move then starter stops. Like yours Plasa; on rare occasion this use to happen then would start. Happen more often if a batt...
