This 2007 Dodge Nitro won't crank. But only sometimes. I tried to "take a look" and got nowhere. Let's dig a little deeper and see if we can find the real problem. Also, there's a dead squirrel in the engine bay. Enjoy!
That's great and all but where do I get the dead squirrels?

i had a test light.. used those stupid red bulbs.. what i did not realize is that the bulb was partially blown... if the test light was aiming down the bulb filament contacted inside the bulb.. if you held it horizontal... it would randomly flicker as the filament bounced.. i spent a few hours working in the passenger side footwell of a car trying to UN whack a mole the electrical system. since no exact wiring diagram existed for this car... and any thing that could be had was tiny and mind boggling and for production car 56.. this version was almost 800.. it was completely frustrating.. i think i spent 3 weeks unsnarling the electrical system on that car.. the fuse box was just beyond the reach of my fingers.. so i was using needle nose pliers to pull off wires.. hold them and then try to identify them .. the colors did not match the wiring diagram. i actually had the one page wiring diagram printed.. it was 9 1/2 feet long.. i hung it on the shop wall. one of the 2 main power relays would melt randomly.. again and again.. even when i figured out the major issue.. that the high beam power was hooked to the ground on one side it still burned the relay.. have a look i.imgur.com/xcYAZWB.jpg the upper 2 relays on the right.. the lower one would burn... the issue is quite visible.. notice to the right of the rigid clamp.. the highest loop of red wire.. and the black shrink wrap on it.. look at the shape of the shrink wrap carefully. its a yellow .250 female QC.. with bare wire pushed in... so when the loads go up.. only one relay gets the loads and it melts.. ever gone fork lift fishing for an engine.. i.imgur.com/gQLEUCI.jpg i thought you might need a laugh.. first attempt at a start after reassembly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJuqhJaZlLurrpY

@Moto-Resto, LLC you wont likely buy one of those. There are so few for sale. If you sneezed I might reply. Countach. But that was a one off chance of me working on it. I dropped a shim washer from the control arm shaft. It bounced off my hammer handle and out the garage door. Accelerating down the middle of the street and around the corner. I chased after it. It made a left at the bottom of the hill and rolled two blocks into an 6 lane wide street with heavy traffic. I shrugged and went back to the car. Even countach suspension shim washers are fast..

They must use some acid like HCl on your roads. I can’t get over how corroded the vehicles you work on are.

Nice job Wes, being able to trouble shoot is key to being a great mechanic. I once had a bad knock under acceleration on a 454 Chevy . I convinced myself it was the toque converter . Wrong ! Then, it had to be faulty knock sensors . No , not that . Nothing left but to drop the pan and check the rod bearings . Huh , perfect . And I was laying under the motor I happened to look up at the starter drive and thought that seemed a little close to the flywheel . Put a screwdriver on it and it moved back and forth . Yeah, just a broken Bendix spring allowing the drive gear to ping off the ring gear. My point here is a good mechanic is worth a butt load of money.

Great watching the diagnosis process. Eventually came down to a corroded connector. You would think that a design team that can come up with such electronic excesses could make a better weather proofed connection to such an important item as a starter. I guess ease of manufacture outweighs durability. As to your honesty with just charging your customer for the work done including "varmit" removal I applaud you. So refreshing in an age where unscrupulous garages rip people off time and time again! Over here in the UK its a real problem for unsuspecting owners. The more complicated the cars become the more difficult it is to know what your getting charged for. Great watching an honest guy, hope your customers appreciate what they got!

I had a Chevy van that was the same way. I thought my battery was getting weak because when it wouldn't start I would use the jumpers and it would start.

It would seem that the additional battery jump was enough to push through the bad connection.
