Switched the starter, still not starting

Well:

crap came up this morning...

I went out just now sprayed some contact cleaner on the contacts just for good luck, blew it off with compressed air snapped the cover back on.

I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY

Took a small flat bladed screw driver and tried to add a little tension to the female spade clips on the panel. The way it was oriented I could only get to one side easily but I did the best I could.

I put some dielectric/bulb grease on the contacts and snapped it ...

It went in with "vigor".

Reconnected the battery ... started right up!

Is it fixed? BTFOM....
I'll report back in a while with long-term results.

Kudos and beer money to cre
