I had an issue with my 07 this morning, turned the key and just clicked once, tried several times and again just clicked once. It was fine last night when we came home and parked it in the garage.
I got out the charger and threw it on and took the other car, came back several hours later pulled the charger off, same thing. So I pulled the cables and cleaned them (there was no corrosion or anything of substance) put them back on. Jumped in hit the key nothing this time not even a click, waited 3-4 mins and tried again and it started right up like nothing was wrong, no clicking or slow cranking.I tried it 3 to 4 more times cranked right up.
So I am thinking the started had a flat spot and by taking the cables off and cleaning it threw enough juice to kick the solenoid? My guess is the starter is going bad?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim
