Luxstiva has had some starting problems. Lots of clicks until it finally catches the starter. Sometimes it would take over 20 tries!
Occasionally the power would cut out entirely and fiddling with the battery cables (in the back) would correct that.
John (Blue Flight Leader) was trying to diagnose the problem and suggested I clean up all my contacts, and also wire my two Odyssey batteries in parallel to boost the cold crank amps. I was in the process of doing that when I noticed the negative battery lead clamp seemed to have a loose wire. I pulled on it lightly and it came right out!
It had been coming loose for some time, lessening the contacts (like John had thought). So I clamped it back in there tight and have had NO problems the past few days.
She's starting fine now.
