[DML] Re: Still no start

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

Actually I think he short circuited it without putting current on the
solenoid that pulls the gear out. This will make the motor spin like
described.

Try it again and this time don't short the large terminals, instead
connect the little spade connector directly to 12V.

I'm sure this is a simple problem. Get yourself a multimeter and
check if there's voltage on the relay. Or maybe you pulled out one 
of the many connectors in the motor compartment / E-Box.
