[s-cars] No start??

[Joshua Van Tol]

When you installed the new starter, did you put the trigger wire on the
right terminal? Silly I know, but it can happen, Bosch put an extra
terminal on the starter to confuse you. Also, those plastic shrouded
connectors make it easy to plug the terminal in wrong where the spade goes
between the female connector and the plastic shroud, which will make very
poor contact.
