I actually had the baytery removed from the car while it was parked. When I put it back in, I put the voltmeter on it, it was good. Tried to start it, had power to all my accesories. But the starter would not engage. At this point I removed the starter. Got it rebuilt, reinstalled, connected the batery and nothing. No dome light no accesories, no anything. That is when I disconnected the starter's power..... you know, to see if the problem was the wiring inside the starter maybe a short or something. With no power going to the starter, I connected the batery again, there was still lots of arcing, and no power....
Anyway, its at the shop now. I have less than zero confidence when it comes to electricity. Unforunately I have to wait til late next week to find out whats wrong with it. Everyone seems to be off this week.
Oh and on a related matter, the tow truck that came to pick up the car today ripped me off for $20. The dispatcher at the towing company told me $90 for a flat deck truck. I was at work when they came, and the guy charged my wife over $100. Those Fu@#ers.
