Just to be clear, it doesn't have 7 volts while cranking. It never cranks. It doesn't even make a noise, not even a click. After i try to start by the key or the push button I can let off of everything and the car is reading 7 volts. I can open the door and the dome light is dim, i turn on the headlights and they barely come on. I can turn the headlights off and shut the door, then turn on the lights and open the door and everything is back to normal. I have the battery on charge and i may pull the one out of my jeep and try that one to see what happens. It's not even a year old. Everything was fine until i pulled the transmission. I will concentrate on the battery, cables and connections tomorrow and see what happens.
