It showed almost nothing at rest, and then jumped to 12.7 when turning the ignition switch to Start.


So this tells me the yellow wire is fine, as is the connection from the battery. Could the new starter I bought be bad?


Thanks for bearing with me.

Chris,

Repeat your above tests using a 12-volt test light to the black and yellow wire terminals at the starter. Look closely at the intensity of the test light when you crank the ignition switch to START position. If you are getting strong light intensity from the TL during the tests and starter doing nothing, then time to get your starter unit bench tested.
