(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I complete the rebuild on the rear suspension and now the starter does not work. It does not make a sound...dead. I even installed the replacement starter I had laying around (high torque unit from pelican), and it does not work. What did I screw up this time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

QUOTE That's a bad idea. You always want to either remove the ground or both, but never just the positive. Why is that? That is the first Ive heard that. I always only remove the Positive side unless I am removing the whole battery. It should not hurt anything. |
