Ran a new 12 ga. wire thru an inline fuse right off the battery, then to a small $5 Autozone relay on the left side under the hood. Ran it down and soldered it to the brown solenoid wire. Then hooked up a small pushbutton switch inside the car to the relay's coil.
Told wife if it failed to crank to leave the key on and hit the button. THEN if it didn't crank it was the solenoid or wire connector. Told her to wiggle the new wire and try again before she called me.
Today she stopped on the way home for 10 min., didn't lock the car. NO crank. Hit the button and drove home! This is the nuttiest problem I've had for a long time.
