I am having this wierd starting problem that I can't figure out. Every once in a while... maybe once a month or longer, it just won't start. There seems to be power to everything, not even a dimming of lights at all. I've even checked the battery on my charger and there is plenty of juice. It does not even attempt to turn over. It seems like it just fixes itself after 10 minutes or so and starts up great. Then it doesnt happen again for a while.
Any ideas? --------------------  |

check the contacts in the starter, they wear out. When mine went the car would randomly not start like that. It's just little copper contacts they are super cheap too, if that is the case.
