So, this just started happening to me this week. I wake up, go to turn the car on or even after i've just driven it, I see the dash lights come on, my headlights are working but when i go to start the car, I get nothing. no click, nothing. but usually it turns on by the third or fourth try. I haven't run any tests on the battery or anything, just posting up here to see if you guys have had the same problem. My best bet is that maybe the starter is going. Any ways to make sure and narrow down my problem?
Thanks in advance. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

My guess is there was some corrosion on the solenoid terminals causing an intermittent short.
