2007 X5 4.8l slow crank especially hot

[Ferguson]

Thank you.

I did the B- to Engine, and got 90mv when starting, so well under 1v.

For reasons unclear neither cigarette port is working, even with the car started (testing center to ground). Probably a fuse blown somewhere, I never use them, they could be simply broken as well. It was more than I had time for to troubleshoot and/or find another good 12v interior source. I may be able to reach a jumper cable from the battery to the B+ back near the battery and clamp onto it with the DVOM (which does have a max display). But more than I had time for, have to run out for a while.

But the 90mv to me seems like a good indication the engine ground is solid, and the positive line from the battery is insulated all the way and less likely to be corroded (and I've already checked the battery terminals, clean and solid).
