Last weekend with some help I managed to transplant my Verde's motor into my new Verde. I also decided to relocate the battery to the trunk. I spent all night Thursday finishing up various tasks, with the hope of being able to drive to work, instead of riding my motorcycle in a hurricane. At midnight I was finally ready to turn the key. *cross fingers* *turn key*... Nothing. I took a survey of what worked and what didn't. Lights, brake lights, horn, fuel pump, windshield wipers: good. Turn signals, starter, disco ARC unit: bad. I thought I goofed when I did the battery wiring. I rechecked, and rechecked. With nothing better to do, I decided to clean all the grounds with some sand paper, contact cleaner, and dielectric grease. That fixed everything but the starter. I thought it would be too easy if all I had to do was clean the connectors at the firewall, but I gave it a try... certainly more fun than pulling the headers to get to the starter. Success! With a cough it came to life. Hoorary! The hurricane turned out to be a big nothing here. I was up most of the night feeling ill, and all it managed to do was rain. I'm still nursing a huge headache, but having a set of wheels again makes that a little easier to bear. I'm down to my last beer! (no milk, or bread either.)
