[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1045181, member: 74901"] Start with basics: have a MultiMeter, basic wrenches & sandpaper\steelwool or small brass\stainlessbrush? How old is Battery; typical life is 4~6years. With Engine off: 12.6~12.8v on BatteryTerminals is good; less than 12.3v is bad. With Engine idling: 13.5~14.5v on BatteryTerminals is good. Inspect+Clean+Tighten all Terminals on Battery+Alternator+MainFuseBox+Starter+... If any Terminal at all corroded\fuzzed, clean it inside+out to shiny metal. If any Terminal cracked\damaged or will not tighten, replace it. If problem remains after doing above, problem may be ~ StarterRelay in HoodFuseBox, swap with another relay; FuseSchedule is in OwnersManual. ~ IgnitionSwitch+KeySensor, may be worn\broken\loose; occasional SiliconeSpray in Switch does help. ~ ShiftLever+IgnitionInterlock may be loose in SteeringColumn, common issue, adjust+tighten.
