@ Schurkey : Thanks for your detailed analysis.
It sounds reasonable.
My car is a numbers matching very original car though, so I don't think I want to go the solenoid on the fender route.
I like your suggested way to use a voltmeter to verify if this is the actual problem. The only thing is to know what is an acceptable voltage at the terminal. Is it 12 V, or maybe 11,5 V or what?
I've had already thought about installing a temporary wire from the S-terminal to the battery (without connecting it) to have as a back-up if I end up in the same situation again. That way I would both get home and know for sure that it is the original wire to the S-terminal that is the cause of the problem.
Do you think that could work?
