this is a follow up/update. As I said before, there's current running all around the car except to the starter...Well, there's a small amount of current that reaches the starter. It's just not enough to start the engine. Following up on the ECU suggestion that was made, I'm guessing that whatever malfunction that took place, prompted the ECU to act in a pro-active manner, therefore preventing the starter from receiving the need amount of voltage. I Read the ECU chapter on the Chillon's book and it says that the ECU will keep information stored in memory for up to 24 hrs once the battery is disconnected. I hope that this is true and resets the ECU. If this works hopefully my car will start.

Note - the voltage drop occurs on the inhibitor fuse/slot, which is connected to the wire that goes directly to the starter. Volts through out the car are a steady 12-15 volts. On the fuse in question a mere 3 - 5 volts.

Questions, Comments, observations....PLEASE :-(

 

I was just curious to ask if you had disconected the neg. on the bat. when you were installing the radio.

 

In answer to your question - No I did not disconnect the battery. I don't thing that it mattered in this case because, I did manage to start the car about 10 times after disconnecting the radio originally. The problem began as soon as I started to force the radio into harness.
