fried battery cable, holy c***p!

In my area, we have a battery and starter shop that does nothing but rebuild starters and sell batteries. They could hook up their equipment and do a load test on the batteries, then test in line with the equipment when trying to start, and tell you within three minutes everything you ever wanted to know, and there just simply is NONE better.

See if you can find a starter and alternator repair shop. They will test it for your for free, and they will take all the guess work out of it.

I am blessed with a couple of those type shops around me... although I wish some would open a radiator shop around me again..
