I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

12v to the solenoid? the small connection. Adding 12v+ to the big nut will do nothing as it has a direct line from the battery.

k, now i cant even push start it. pulled the spark plugs, 3 of 4 had some nasty orange-ish corrosion on the upper part of the plug and the wire on the part the connects to the plug..could this have caused my problem?

well, spark plugs/wires arent the problem.if the alternator gets wet, does that make it completely unusable?

If your alternator is wet it will turn over but not start. Take it apart and hit it with a hair dryer for a couple minutes.

The main relay is in the fuse box under the hood.
