[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 98252, member: 82"] I don't believe you hear a click when you turn the key, the main shut down solenoid opens when cranking, so you won't hear it over the starter and engine spinning. I guess a bad fuse could be the cause, but adding a bit power power when it is already cranking shouldn't make any real difference. I wonder if there is a bad connection somewhere making the voltage drop enough for the computer to not work properly. How are you adding the booster pack? as in where are you running the jumper leads, to the battery terminals or to the frame and the starter? If it was a bad ground, adding the booster pack may be getting around the bad connection well enough to start the machine. Just throwing out random ideas now. [/QUOTE]
