Hi all,

Need help on an electrical glitch on a ?62 Plymouth. 

I turned the ignition key and the starter spun. The car didn?t start 
right up (been sitting a few weeks) so I thought I?d squirt a shot of 
starting fluid.

When I turned the key next I got no starter spin, just a spark/click/pop 
type noise like when a battery cable is not fully making contact. I 
tightened up the battery cables and still no starter spin.

The headlights are dim and the pressing the horn ring only makes the 
horn relay buzz mournfully.
If I press the horn ring with the headlights on the lights, already dim, 
get much dimmer.

So far I?ve:

*  tested the battery on another car & it spins the starter like crazy.

*  cleaned the battery cables and the battery ground to the engine.

*  took off the bulkhead connector and cleaned all the connections. 

*  took off all the connections on the starter relay switch and cleaned 
them. 

Seem like some ground somewhere is corroded? 

Not sure what to check next.

Any tips? 

Thanks,
Gary H.
