When my solar panels are charging (~14V) and I try to start the
engine, it basically acts like the batteries are dead. No turnover,
just hear the click of the solenoid. I unplug the solar panels and
it starts right up? Any ideas what could be causing this? Wierd.

Obviously a short somewhere, but that's not really helpful. Perhaps the
reversing diode is shorting?

This guy ganz is an idiot. One would think somebody who had nothing to say
would shut the f*ck up but NOOOOOOOOOO!
