(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)

If you short the big black wire (from the battery) to the "Yellow wire goes here" terminal, the starter should try to crank the engine.
