[QUOTE="ICEMAN 68, post: 603259, member: 17"] could be a loose battery terminal ....check that ... if it's not loose then try to turn on your key to start mode and try honking for a minute ...by the pitch of the horn you'll be able to determine if the battery is weak... if so that you've replace a new battery, get the voltmeter and check the alternator current output ... just to be sure that that alternator is charging accordingly ... if the culprit is the starter ...you'll hear a winning sound upon cranking ... try giving it a knock on the body and try cranking it again ...if indeed it started then it's the starter ..but before doing this pls just have a look at the starter assy ..could even be the starter terminal wire worn out .... well hope this info could help a little somehow [/QUOTE]
