Yes I know I may sound pretty stupid to you but it's not really neccessary or helpful to become insulting. Yes I know what a solenoid does, and how it sounds. And yes I expect to see a spark and would come to the same conclusion about the wiring to the soenoid and + lead to the starter. I find it helpful to get feedback. If it becomes too much of a bother for you then you know what to do. BTW I've just been messing with cars for 63 years so far but don't know it all yet. aquanaut20 I'm in Onatrio.

I wonder how close he is to me

If you hear a scream...........

Not being insulting, but I've seen people do the same thing and forget about the current a starter solenoid can draw and utter some strange foreign words about the size of the spark

So when I jumpered the sockets for 30 & 87 the solenoid clicked. Nothing else.

Sounds like you need to replace the starter.

I agree that's what it sounds like. Looks like a tow is in order.

Remember to set transfer case in N before towing

Thanks vety much for the tip. It will be towed on a flatbed. Does anyone know what the flat rate book says for a starter install on one of these?
