update...

well i just remembered that a day before this all happened i hooked a battery charger to it and set it to the "jumpstart". setting. and sometimes during that attempt it actually flipped the circuit in my house. i didn't think it had anythign to do with it because all my fuses were still in tact.

but yesterday i took my battery in for the shop to take a look at. and it was actually leaking so i got a brand new one. and the problem still persist. so i guess i can rule bad battery out.

i put a multimeter to the battery while cranking it to see what is going on and the battery has a 12.1v while not doing anything. 11.6-11.8v while on "glow" cycle. and 11.6v when i turned it to start position. when i turn it back i get 12.1v, and i can go back and forth and will get 12.1v and 11.6v.

i have 2 pictures i took so i can ask if these are what i think they are:

1st: are these the three wires mentioned to jumpstart the starter? so i need to cross the "blue" to the 2 left ones(same connection) correct?
