Ulramaroon, I've also thought the same, but then why when I have them tested, which is 3 visits and a total of 8 test, they test good every time, but when I hook it up to my battery it does all of this nonsense? My buddy and I went back out there tonight, and went ahead and intentionally hooked the starter up backwards, out of the car obviously, but it still did the same thing it has been doing. Him and I have known each other over 25 years, and have worked on a lot of cars together. We've ran into a lot of different problems, but this one has been the most difficult by far we've ran into.
