    Does it matter what month you take social security?

    FI_RElater I meant to reply to the thread topic, and then had to go. Instead of deleting it looks like I hit enter on a place holder thought.

    is it the battery or the starter?

    EDR50/All Previous post with misinformation, deleted. It did not occur to me that someone might remove the positive battery cable, while the vehicle was running. Of course if the vehicle was running , one would not have progressed to that step in the process. *Nothing is Sailor Proof*
