Still have any of these?

Pulled out the dead batteries, then jumpered to my truck battery and I still got a stuttering solenoid. So I went through all the wiring in the battery box, replacing wires with corroded connectors, cleaning terminals, replaced the circuit breakers and eventually installing new batteries...
