Apparently they start making a noise and vibrating. If the car is intact, it's a pain to remove and re-install. In your case, you are closer than I am to doing all that work (pulling and replacing t ... |

Possible low battery charge. Low current draw items will work but starter solenoid wont. Turn on headlights and watch as you try to start the engine. If the headlights dim quite a bit the battery is ... |
