Still no joy on finding the issue but now I have a cranking issue (also intermittent) where it acts like the battery is low. I'm replacing the FSR and taking the Witch to a Yemeni electrical workshop to see if they can figure it out.

Get a measure of the amps while cranking.

You describe the symptom of end of life starter that pulls more current. It'll sound like low battery when it's the voltage dip from starter taking up to 50-70% more current.

I can't remember if the B+ terminal separates like the 3.0 but occasional thread on xo will have that cause give you that symptom.

True, but I still have the no power issues in the obd2, footwell lighter socket, built-in cellphone and switch R (low power) But with this I have some hope that it's connected cause is a wire grounding out doing those issues and draining the battery.

If not maybe someone will steal it and then burn up in an electrical fire, all while I'm collecting my insurance money....

Yeah that's likely related.

Replace the outer cv joint or full axle. No point in wasting time: effort trying to pull the axle out of that hub they are the same object now.

+1 on that. You'll be lucky if it's not permanently rust welded together.
