... Or a double entendre ?
No, not meant that way. Takes longer to find the wrench and undo the terminal than to poke the starter with a stick. I wrapped the wrench in a glove after I got it unstuck...still quite a mark on the starter where it stuck on
Sure, I could have thought to put the starter in before the batteries but figured I'd want to lie down for a while after dealing with the batteries...silly me.
The first time the starter mysteriously started cranking with the key out of the ignition, I was lying under the truck and couldn't remember if it was in gear or not. Just don't trust the beast any more.
