There is sufficient voltage at the battery and starter, but can't test the alternator as the engine doesn't turn over. The alternator is a 2 year old Bosch put on by the dealer for the previous owner.
First turn off all things electrical, lights, radio, AC, interior loghts, etc.
Put on the parking brake, and shift the SVX into neutral.
Now keep trying to start it by turning the key to start.
Try it at least twenty times, preferably with a jump pack hooked up.
Then report back.


BTW you know that that are two
+wires that go to the starter, not counting the ground.
