I recently replaced the positive battery cable assembly because the connection on the starter broke off (apparently this is a common problem with this model).
After getting everything in place and tightened down, I try to start it and nothing happens, no buzzer that the key is in the ignition and the door is open, no interior light, nothing.
I recheck everything, make sure it is firmly in park, try it again and, nothing.
I check the voltage across the terminals, 12v, no problem.
I clean the terminals. Still nothing.
I turn the key in the ON position, and jump the solenoid. It cranks a bit and then it starts. Problem is, it sounds like the starter is still engaged after the engine is running.
I rush around to the drivers seat and shut it off.
I have not tried anything else since and am looking for someone to point me in the right direction.
