When I turn the key I get nothing. The warning lights do not dim, and the solenoid does not click. When I release the key from the crank position the GP light goes off and the warning lights brighten, so I think my GPs are turning off and the electronic part of the "ignition" is working (no afterglow on this car).

I gave the starter a few taps with a rubber mallet, with no luck. This has happened once before but rolling the car backward with it in 1st seemed to fix it. Not this time though. I did notice that the car seemed to be cranking over a bit slow once or twice this week but didn't pay much attention to it.

I'm just about to go crawl under it and see if any wires on the starter are loose, then I guess I will swap out the starter with a remanufactured unit. Any other ideas?

Thanks.
