86 944 NA with about 140k no start condition. No power to radio, lights, or wipers. I hooked up some jumper cables, still the same situation. After waiting for about 30 seconds after disconnecting the jumper cables, it started up again but wouldn't start again after shutting engine off. Checked the battery, tests out to be good. Going to check the battery cables soon. Any ideas?

 

bad ground or a loose wire by the starter. when you say "no start" you mean turn key and nothing or it cranks?

 

yeah, pull the wires off the starter too and clean everything up down there. it can make a huge difference

 

When I turn the key there's no crank. When I get back I'm going to clean the wires like you mentioned, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

 

Definitely clean off the terminals on the starter.
