Q: driving the car lost ALL electric and eng just shut off. RPM right to zero.
I swapped out starter sol. not fixed. when you connect the battery the starter sol engages. I removed the starter and connected all connections turned the key on and once grounded every thing worked but the starter would not turn over. just the gear moved out because the sol on the starter engaged.
