I think you you covered it there all in that post Onkel!

I never thought about the battery having a nearly shorted out cell!
I forgot to talk about the alternator grounding wire as well.
Your right they sure can get funky or forgotten about way down there.

If his cables are good he is bouncing between the three things you mentioned.

If he has another car, he can try switching batteries as the tray in these cars will just about take any size battery.

It appears to be the classic, intermittent, no spin the engine trick! He said heat has something to do with it.
? Engine heat again, on the battery maybe ?

Good job!

Phil
