HI, IF YOU HAVE CLEANED THE TERMINALS ON BATTERY PLUS THE CABLE ENDS AND YOU STILL HAVE NOTHING BY ANY CHANCE DO YOU HAVE THE BOLT ON TERMINALS ON YOUR BATTERY CABLES. POSSIBLE THAT CABLES ARE CORRODED INSIDE CAUSING LOW VOLTAGE DALE

HI, I WOULD CONSIDER CHANGING THE CABLES FOR NEW ONES THEY'RE PROBABLY CORROIDED INSIDE. THE WIRE YOU USED JUST CREATED A SHORTER PATH OF RESISTANCE. SHOWING THERE IS CORROISION IN CABLES DALE [email protected]
