Put a test light across the battery terminals and try to start it. If the light goes out, then the battery is flat. If not then start doing a voltage drop test. Put the test light to the centre of the negative battery post and body, and crank. If the light comes on then you have a open connection. Keep the test probe on the centre of the battery and move the lead to the terminal. When the light goes of you have found the open circuit. Then do the test with the positive. Start with the centre of the post to the terminal and move onto the starter solenoid. Eventually you'll find your break. Every new connection try to crank. If the light goes a little bit dull then it could be a sticking solenoid. Give it a light tap with a hammer. JD
