    I attempted to get the 76 running on Saturday.

    There is a red wire which looks like it was going to the solenoid, but isn't attached any longer (see pic).

    The white wire in the pic is running to the stereo.

    At one point, for maybe 30 seconds, I could hear the buzzer when the key was forward, but then absolutely nothing.

    Even when hooked up to a battery charger.

    Next- the battery would chrage when the positive cable was disconnected, but when it was attached, it would not (indicator on charger would not light up, so I'm guessing it wouldn't complete the circuit???).

    Any help will be greatly appreciated (wiring is not my strong point!)

    Thanks, Jim P.
