[QUOTE="zeroed, post: 605135, member: 24972"] Not sure if you've solved the problem yet, but for starter / half-dead battery problems, you'll usually still hear the starter trying to engage. (i.e. " Chak-whirrrr", you'll hear the "chak"). If starter is completely dead, you should still notice the interior lights getting slightly dim as current is passed into the starter. Otherwise, starter switch problem. :D P.S. When the starter doesnt work / crank properly, do not hold the key in the "crank" position for too long. Current is still passing and, since movement is restricted, temperature builds in your wires and they may melt. Something like turning on the fan and not letting it turn by holding on to the fan blades. It'll burn. [/QUOTE]
