battery replaced, car started and ran (20 miles or so )
operated erratically for awhile, lights dimmed, car died.....(again)
3rd battery installed, car would not start at all.
(are we having fun, or what???)
battery #4 brought up to bat... replaced alternator & starter
(with all 3 components known to be working)
no soap, no suds, no foam... no start.
electrical checks so far reveal
starter solenoid isn't operating,
starter relay isn't working(exchanged relay....still no operation)
huh....
the questions-
How can we check for the break in power supply to the relay?
additional info-
hooking the battery ground strap tothe battery produces a small spark(ouch)
indicating a short somewhere.....Related???
and I was just beginning to think that no grease under our fingernails was
rather pleasant.....
any ideas or words of encouragement graciously accepted...
