Q: and after all that... it could just be corrosion on a battery terminal or ground terminal. if that were the case then shorting the solenoid would not work either although there could be corosion on the solenoid terminal. i didnt think of that good call max. not necessarily. ive personally seen a ram that would not start with the ignition switch but would start by jumpering the starter relay terminals. it was a bad engine ground causing this. .
