[s-cars] No start ??

[Wylie Bean]

Check the negative battery cable. Happens on my 200q20v when it's loose.  
Doesn't look loose though even though it is.

Subject: [s-cars] No start??

        Gents,
 
 This has got me totally confused.? Victim is a 95.5 S6 with 175K miles.? I  
parked the car a few days ago. An hour later wife goes to move it, comes  
back in and said everything looked normal but nothing happened when she  
turned the key.? I go out and she is right.? Next day changed the ignition  
switch as most probable cause but not feeling good on that 'cause old switch  
feels great.? Change switch - no change - no start, no clicky on solenoid.?  
Decide to check for power at starter.? There is battery power to the  
solenoid and control power (from the key switch) but then I notice that the  
braid on the starter to solenoid has rotted through.? So I figured it was  
the starter.? Replaced the starter with a Bosch rebuilt unit.? Tried to  
start it up - nothing.? Everything looks proper - OK light comes on, alarm  
works normally, idiot lights look fine, have 12VDC.? Any been there - found  
that - out there?
 Thanks,
Mark near Chicago.?
