Well - for starters - I went to throw a charger on the battery to see what kind of life I could get out of it. The battery is reading 6v so there's not much there. I'm hoping to see "some life" - I might have to use some jumper cables. But while I was 'under the seat' - I discovered this wire had some corrosion and was no longer encased. At first I thought mice, but this is too clean, there are no little teeth marks or anything, so it's a bit of a mystery as to how it got out. Perhaps it got hot or something and melted its way out. More testing and we'll find out
