OK, sheesh, I ended up sacrificing the rear window defroster wire, it’s fairly thick, and has the appropriate spade connector on the end even! And with the tint job, I don’t think you can use it anyway. Jump the solenoid direct to battery and it starts right up, sounds familiar.
Then on way home, the charge & brake warning lamp starts coming on, crap, this alternator is craping out too! At last traffic light by library, of course I catch the red. Uh oh, the dash lights are dimming. Turn off headlights, hurry! Go faster Camry, why the heck are you doing speed limit?! Make it home, just barely. After dinner when I try to start, it tries but not enough juice. Measure the Diehard Platinum & it’s down to 10v, yikes! Slapped the charger right now!
