Steven;
        I recommend a purchase a good digital voltmeter, preferably one
that records minimum and maximum events. That you could do some real
trouble shooting before you start throwing expensive parts.
        Don't feel bad, those cables probably helped. Make sure you have
a clean connection and then spray something to protect it.

Drive Safely & Happy Holidays
