[DeTomaso] Strange electrical issue - is it time for a new starter?

Note that since this is a solenoid it draws power continuously when on so you need to turn it off anytime the car is going to sit for more than a few minutes or you will run down the battery.

My solution is a little spendy but I LOVE it.
It is an electric cutoff switch that only requires you to flip a switch,  I
just installed one on my mustang and I am about to install another one on my
Tiger. 
You can order from Summit Racing Part Number: PRF-30204.  It is about $118
but you can hide the switch and it does not require a key or anything to
operate.
Not sure if you are talking about "tools to install" or "tools to operate"

Good luck

" Now I will search for a better disconnect switch ", exactly what I have
done for years, can't find one other than the green thumb wheel one we
probably all have. Especially on  my Longchamp, if I don't turn it down all
the way, hard, it can't start when warm. If someone comes up with a better
model that gives a good connection and can be used w/o tools, I'll buy 3
right now.

following up on my "starter clicking" issue - you guys were right: I removed
the battery disconnect switch, and the car started a total of 7 times this
weekend w/o a problem.  Now I will search for a better disconnect switch, as
I like to isolate the battery when not driving the car (mostly Sunday night
- Saturday morning). Thanks for the help!
