[worseforwhere]

i thought it was a solenoid problem because the starter seemed to work fine...when i used a screwdriver to jump the connection on the solenoid, the starter made the soft hum of a working starter. Turns out it was neither the solenoid or a fuse...somehow i discharged ALL of the battery while i was working on it....(mustve grounded a stray wire and zapped it to the frame or whatnot). Jumped it right off and the problem went away. Wish i thought of that before jumping to conclusions and thinking the worst was wrong.......no more drinking before projects anymore for me...
