I have and know how to use a volt meter, just only have two sets of hands and no helper till later tonight.
All wires are hooked correctly. I've farmed my whole life and am my own mechanic but hey, it never hurts to ask yourself the simple questions cos even with my experience I've hooked a battery backwards before. It was covered in pollen and dark under the hood, but it happens :)
I'll check with meter tonight. I was just hoping to hear someone give one of those "happens every time" answers thats model specific; similar to Camreal's answer. Thanks btw, I'll double check the slack in the cables.
I'm not assuming the brand new battery is good. Last year I bought a Walmart Everstart right off the shelf that was DED DED DED!
Until I get an extra set of hands I'm only playing the trial and error game.
Still, it's funy that the jack started working and the slide out quit.
