I just replaced the positive terminal bolt. I thought the threads looked OK until I pulled it all the way out and got a closer look. They were stripped pretty bad. $2 and back running without issue.

Sometimes, its the little things that will bite you in the b---.

Glad you are back on the road, and thank you for the "post-mortem" on the problem ...

At that point there was no next step .. The first MAJOR reason the car would not start needed to repaired. Talking about any other item at that point is pointless.
