Message	10 or 12 gage insulated single wire. Place an alligator clip on one end and clamp it to the unconnected starter solenoid wire that goes to the solenoid. Trim about 1/4" insulation from the other end. Turn the key to the "on position" so that all the dash lights come on. Then just touch the + batt post with the other end of the 6 ft wire to energize the starter. When it starts quickly release the wire from the + batt post. There will be a small electric arc but if you quickly place the wire on the batt post the arc will be very small. Use gloves if concerned. Even thoough it will not roll start do this start process I describe. The jump start still depends on all the circuity being OK from the ignition to the starter including the alarm system lock. The getto start bypasses this starter circuit and takes the 12v directly from the batt to the starter. If engine starts then you have to trace the problem to be between the starter solenoid connector to the ignition switch. First place where there is usually the issue is the starter relay 2nd place couild be the alarm lock. As I stated in my 1st post the bench test of the relay to hear a definate click of the contacts with 12v applied is not a definative test. Relays that test ok by this click procedure can still be bad because contacts can't carry the amps to the starter solenoid. It happened to me. Let us know results. ZUL8TR in Orlando,FL

More proof that the "click-test" is imperfect. - CoHPhasor 18:23:13 02/12/11
