AC and  blower bypassed on most cars during cranking  anyway.

Absolutely correct.  HOWEVER, the vehicle that  was doing the jumping while
running was the one that had the catastrophe !   BTW, I spent some 8 hours
Thursday repairing all the damage.  Glad to say  my CARAT is now back on the road.
 Still need to get in there and repair  the paint on the metal surfaces that
were scratched in the incident.   Lessons learned every day !

Cheers,
