Alright guys. I was told by another avenger owner in the area who had the EXACT same problem that I probably fried my ground wire. I'm going to replace this tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes

haha. im still getting it off my hands, but i have a daily driver for now. i have a video of it not starting and the sound it made. in the video you can hear it want to fire and it never made that sound til that day. every other day it would just crank and make a whining noise and not want to turn over.
