    Pulled starter and had tested. It was bad due to over jumping. Put in a new one. 2 of 3 batteries don't hold charge. Put in all new ones. Everything now works except starter. I pulled it again to check wires but there are only 2 posts all the big ones go on one and the small wire goes on the small post. I checked every relay behind dashboard and all ignition fuses. Pulling starter now to test on ground. Meanwhile wondering how do you take out ignition without disturbing computer plug in terminal? ANY all help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Check all of the fuse boxes that are mounted on the frame rail near the drive axles. We had several M2's and many of them had the cover mounted upside down with the weep port facing up. A lot of them were getting water trapped in there, causing a pretty big variety of weird problems.
