so i charged my battery and took it down today. and it was the same deal.

glow plug light came on, then when i turned the key. nothing. the lights were dimming inside the interior and as soon as i let go of the key it stops.

does this mean i fried the starter for sure? is there any overload protection or relay that could be out? i tried changing fuse #10 (over load protection and a bunch of stuff) and it didn't help.

if it is the starter, how much am i looking at here? thanks a lot for all the help guys.
