I'm trying to understand what's happening here. The way I interpret your complaint it sounds like maybe a bad connection, maybe at the battery. Try removing and thoroughly clean the cable ends. Clean them until you can see shiny lead on the inside of the cable as well as on the post. If it's side post, clean the flat surfaces that mate. Reconnect and try again. If I'm on the wrong track from your problem, re-post and I'll try again. If I AM on the wrong track, try to be a little clearer on your description and I'll help again...
