As for the tab, not enough left of it to click anywhere. I pulled the 
starter, and there are a few suspect items. But terminal 50 is clearly 
labelled on the rearmost location, so mine's opposite to the Bentley, and in 
fact it was correctly installed, and it should start if there is juice to 
that terminal, right?

Well, I didn't do this because I wanted to figure out the condition of the 
terminals, and have a good look. Like I said, there are some issues. So 
we'll see...
