So, last week the wagon wouldn't start one day.
Took half a dozen tries, it would just click.
Didn't happen again for several days.
Next round it stranded me for ~5 minutes.
The next time ~10 minutes to get it started.
Yesterday it wouldn't start @ all, just click.
So today I went out to find problems and fix it.
Cleaned aux. stud & cable end...no help.
Cleaned battery cable ends (nasty)...no help.
Starter cable end was next, it was slightly loose & dirty.
Here's where the bonus comes in. My CTS pigtail was MIA when bought car. I finally found it. Wedged between block & starter lmao!
So far after cleaning all cable ends it's working normally again. Hopefully it's fixed. Probably combo of dirty cable ends and loose connection.
I think I'll have a new + cable made up, looks to be original and surely can't hurt.
