SORRY--I DON'T SEE YOUR TEMP GROUNDS
AS LONG AS YOU ARE GROUNDING THE LOOSE DASH TO THE BODY (OR BACK THRU IT, EVENTUALLY WINDING UP AT "NEGATIVE BATTERY" WE SHOULD BE GOOD!)
LOOKING AT YOUR PIC---AND ME BEING A CRITICAL KINDA GUY---I DO NOT LIKE ALL OF THE TAPE ON YOUR BATTERY CABLES. KINDA SAYS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE INSULATION---MAYBE COVERING UP POWDERY CORROSION IN THE WIRE STRANDS. SOME NEW ONES WOULD BE NICE. RED FOR POSITIVE, BLACK FOR NEGATIVE
I'M ALSO GONNA HAVE YOU CHANGE THE SOLENOID WIRING A LITTLE---THIS WILL MAKE IT ALOT EZer TO "JUMP THE SOLENOID" FOR CRANKING OR BUMPING UNDER THE HOOD
1ST PIC--STUFF THAT WILL MESS YOU UP
2ND PIC--WIRE YOUR SOLENOID LIKE THIS (SWAP THE BIG CABLES, "S" AND "I" SHOULD REMAIN AS THEY ARE (IF THEY WERE ALREADY RIGHT) ALL ACCESSORY WIRES STAY BUTTED AGAINST THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE
AFTER YOU GET SOLENOID AS I HAVE SHOWN---"S" AND POS BATTERY CABLE WILL BE SIDE BY SIDE
BATTERY MUST BE GOOD---OR YOU ARE JUMP STARTING
AS IN PIC 3, USING A SCREWDRIVER OR A REMOTE STARTER CONNECT POS POST TO "S". IT'S GONNA JUMP, YOU MAY BECOME INCONTINENT! JUST DON'T JUMP INTO THE FAN OR BELTS. IF THIS TURNS THE ENGINE OVER WE KNOW THE UNDER HOOD STARTING CIRCUIT IS FINE (WE MAY HAVE TO TRACE "S" WIRE, OR OTHER STUFF, BACK IF THE KEY STILL DOES NOT WORK).
. JUST A TEST, IF IT MOVES, TURN THE KEY "ON" AND TRY IT AGAIN. DOES IT START?
DON'T GO CRAZYWE MAY NOT HAVE IGNITION---TEST THIS, IN PIC 4 (YOUR VALUE MAY DIFFER THAN MINE)
ALRIGHT GET TO WORK---THE NEW BATTERY CABLES CAN "SLIDE" TILL YOU GET SOME $$$
REPORT BACK---I'M ABOUT TO START MAKING SOME MORE DIAGRAMS FOR CHECKING AND TRACING WIRES---DEPENDENT ON YOUR RESULTS
ARE WE "JIVIN'" OR ARE YOU LOST?
