car dead - stuck at work

[Z train]

Jump it straight to the starter.ANd your belt has nothing to do with the AC comprssoer clutch engaging.

yay it started again. I took all fuses out except brake lights and dome light (dome light ran the volt meter in the dash) and in the garage at home it started again.

I still have to track down a short. but its doable.

it could still be the starter/solenoid as the tow truck driver moved the car while in gear a few inches. maybe the starter teeth werent lining up to the flywheel... but then it would have started when i tried right after arriving home... hmm... (whee troubleshooting)

oh well at least its easy to swap and Ill add my extra starter to my spare parts bin in the car.

I also have a new battery too, and have new fusible links on the way because one link is actually falling apart. may as well replace before it becomes an issue.

thanks everyone. a supportive community makes owning this car all the more fun
