[Shotimes] SHO won't start

[Steve Weinrich]

I'll stick with my original suggestion.

The solenoid is integral to the starter.  It passed bench tests at two
different stores.

The clincher is that all the other power loads all lost power when the
starter tried cranking.  That power went somewhere.

In my case, it was all dropping in the ground cable next to the engine block
cable.  Upon replacement, I stripped the insulation back a foot and found
lotsa green stuff that used to be copper cable.

I also had the same problem on my old Ford Explorer.  The supply voltage,
150+ amps are attempted to be drawn,  don't just disappear somewhere, it
gets dropped across a load of some kind.
