Ok, more updates.

I got fuses from Advance Auto. I wanted to just replace all of them, but they did not have enough at the store, so I just got the ones that I thought were most pertinent. i.e. the windows.

But, I got in there, and the number 8 fuse was blown. It said on the diagram inside the fuse box that the #8 was for AC compressor, which is odd, cause it was working at the time of the "incident".

I got a voltage meter while I was there too. It's saying that the battery is pushing 11.82 volts.

I got in, and the windows went up!!

And...the car didn't start.

Still nothing but a clicking.

I suspect that there are two different issues here, one being a blown fuse (and more importantly, what caused the blown fuse ??) as well as a solenoid. Again, as I said before, from the first time I started the car, the starter made a crazy, low, WHURR after the engine fires each time. I'm stupid, I suppose, because I thought that wasn't what a bad starter sounded like, in that I had to replace the starter on my last truck too, and the "bad" sound was different.

However, the sound then was because the teeth were bad on the actual starter, whereas, I kind of think that this issue is the solenoid.

I checked again this morning before re-attaching the wires to the solenoid to see if there was any visible "bad" spots, and I couldn't see any.
