[quote=Blas;931971]Check the ground connections on the battery and on the frame back by the battery. Actuall check the cable ends too. 9 times out of 10 that is the problem.
There is also a ground connection up by the starter from the engine to the chassis.
A quick test when the car won't start is to just take a jumper cable and connect one side to the "-" side of the battery and the other to the chassie somewhere...If the car then starts you have a bad ground somewhere..
Hi Blas, thanks for the response. Wouldn't all of the above be eliminated since the car fires up right away with a boost?
Also, if the solenoid checks out ok and the battery's ok, would that mean that it's the alternator (if it reads below 13 volts) for sure or just mean I'm closer to the answer?
