Couldn't wait, had my 8 year old son be the hands of the operation. Besides, I know he likes giving me a hand, I should probably do that more often! Got the clamps off and they did not look at all that bad! Had him hit them with the post brush and we put them back on. Had instant, total power back to everything! I've seen connections at battery posts that looked like they were about to chemically decompose, and still functioned. First time for everything! Thank you Jerry!, it always seems that we disregard the easiest, most obvious thing that is causing the problem. But, like I said, looking at them, I didn't question the clamps! Thank you, Joe
