[Shotimes] RE: starter or clutch interlock switch?

[Ian Fisher]

Bad connection is possible-I did have a ton of
corrison on my battery terminals and clamps which I
cleaned off yesterday. It is possible that I missed a
spot. I am also using a quick disconnect terminal
which is probably just another link in the chain that
can fail. I should remove this and see how the car
responds...heading outside now..
