I replaced the starter solenoid, had the starter tested at parts store, and checked all the cables to and from solenoid. Everything looked good, ran good, past test...


I tried the multimeter on the solenoid and had my wife turn the key, got 12v at the positive battery post on the solenoid, got 11-10v on the post that leads to starter motor, and got 9v on the ignition post. I don't know if that test did any good at all, but that's all I know to do with it now. I even took the battery out of my truck and put in the SVO, and the SVO battery into the truck and the truck started fine. The SVO had the same symptoms as with the original battery in it. I'm completely lost now with no idea which way to go from here. Help please!
