Okay. I tested the trigger wire's connection through my hot shot (pictures included). I wasn't sure which wire (white or blue) was for the trigger wire since they're connected inside of a split loom that I didn't want to risk peeling back/off, so I tested each wire.
The blue one would give a reading of 0.01v when I turned the key to run.
The white wire would get a reading of 11.40v.
The battery has discharged a little, so I put it back on a trickle charger.
Unlike on my previous attempt where the starter would attempt to start then nearly immediately stop, this time I heard no cranking sound whatsoever (just a click) any of the times I tried to start the engine.
The photos are of the hot shot that my starter is wired into - there are additional photos earlier in this message string.
The video is of my turning the key to RUN with the lead on the white wire's location of the hot shot relay.
This relay was installed to bypass the long-distance voltage travels in the original, factory wiring that eventually causes intermittent starting issues solely because not enough voltage makes it to the final location to initialize the starter and/or the contacts wear out and pit. I think I also mentioned this in a previous post on this thread. Happy to explain more if needed.
