Battery is in the trunk, thru the main disconnect at the bumper and from there to the starter. Battery is sitting at 12.6 volts. I keep the car on a trickle charger when not driving. As far as the bumps on the starter, it was enough to undo all 4 converter bolts and then get one in and it wouldn't bump to the next bolt. Ammeter has been by passed. I messed with it some last night and if i try to bump the motor over nothing happens. Once i try that i check voltage and it is at 7 volts. If i let it sit for a minute it will come back to 12.6 volts. I will pull the starter back off and redo the connections from the battery cable and the cable that runs to the relay. It almost seems to me it has to be somewhere in that area being it won't crank with a button or jumping the terminals at the relay.
