ht4tchr,

It's very important to pay attention where you place the volt meter test probe when you attempt to crank the motor.

Place the test lead on the battery post, not the clamp on the end of the cable; what voltage do you read when attempting to crank the motor? Next place the test lead on the clamp itself, same voltage or lower? Then place the test lead on the connector at the other end of the cable, where it bolts to the starter relay, afterwards place the test lead on the actual stud of the starter relay. The idea is to determine exactly where the voltage drop is occuring.

If the battery is known to be good, and the voltage drop is occuring at the battery post, then it is time to try and turn the crankshaft by hand (because the starter motor already tested good).
