Re: Click and Nuthin' (Starting Problem)

["Gary Pavlovich" <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Remember that dielectric grease is used to seal connections like on our 
spark plug wires/boots from moisture/debris...but if used liberally on 
electrical connection surfaces they will prevent proper conductivity.  There 
is a special lubricant for conductivity.

Bob,
Never thought to clean the other ends of the cables. Great advice. Battery
