This is were I sound like an old women. Learned everything about the grounds and the "NSS". Got under checked grounds and looked at the very clean looking NSS, then before I started removing dark grey objects, I took a screw driver and 'jumped' the hot to something and the starter was cranking like a m f'er ! Got up and turned the key and she fired right up, turned it off and it stared right up. Q.? Does this reinforce the idea of the NSS being bad ? Thanks for all the help, I guess I'll order one and install-what a nightmare ! !
