    weird intermittent no-start issue

    Farbin and I were doing a bit of rear-end body work on my eta today, and had to disconnect the battery to do so.

    When we got done and put everything back together, the car wouldn't start. We had 12V at the battery and the front power distribution terminal, (and the coil), and swapping out the main and starter relays did nothing. When push-started, the car ran fine and showed no problems. When trying to start it via the key, there was no noise from the starter in the START key position, but a couple clicks when going back from START to ON (presumably starter relay).

    Farbin then checked the voltage at the c101 (where the terminal 50 wire from the starter goes into), and magically the car was back in action and starting like nothing happened.

    Ideas on what it could be? How would checking the voltage fix this issue?
