I did some testing tonight and I think I found the problem, but I would like to validate it with your thoughts.
I cleaned all the connections, but it did not make a difference. I measured battery voltage and then compared across the starter solenoid. With the ignition off, I had voltage on one side and 0 on the other side that leads to the starter. That's ok. I measured the voltage as my wife turned the key. The side that leads to the starter should then read about 13 volts, but it remained 0. I get the typical solenoid click, but no voltage.
I am getting another solenoind tomorrow.
What do you think?
Carl
