Re: [DML] battery sparks and no-start

[Soma576@xxxx]

List,

thank you very much for all the tips with my car. i am experienced enough to 
know by now that when the car ran perfect the last time you started it and 
now it won't start at all, it's nothing to panic about!! it's usually 
something very simple that will make you go 'DOHH!'

exactly the same in this case. i gave up in the relay box and opened the 
engine bay. first thing i saw was the piggy-backed wire on the upper right 
ignition resistor prong had broken off the 2/1 connector. a quick trip to 
the hardware store for a new connector and it started up right away. it just 
goes to show that even when you think you are positive about something, it is 
always good to double-check your assumptions!! how the wire broke i have no 
clue since i wasn't in there since it was running last, but oh well. simple 
fix for a stupid problem, as usual!

as for the battery sparking - that's my next order of buisness. 
luckily i will be able to make my stereo installation appointment on monday 
so i can report the results early next week!

Thanks as always,
Andy
