Cut a slot in each one with a hacksaw to use a flat screwdriver in and put them both back in. Now she is starting just fine. Perhaps there is some grounding through the column that I had lost while these were loose/falling out? I don't know - I didn't do anything but tighten them down and now the car starts every time.  |
Holy crap, you're kidding! The security bolts do more than just hold it in place!? Wow. Glad to hear it's fixed though.
