    Weird Start Problem - Battery smoke?

    Hey there; I've got a 1989 M998 HMMWV with a strange starting issue that has cropped up recently. When I turn the ignition (I have the keyed ignition upgrade) to the mid position, WAIT light comes on, everything seems okay. I crank it, and it makes sad noise like there's not enough voltage...
