Hi All, I've had an intermittent problem starting my 97 Dakota 318 club cab automatic the last few days. Every once in a while when I turn the ignition switch to start I get no lights or apparent electrical response of any kind - I may occasionally see a very dim idiot light but that's it. And it doesn['t seem to matter whether it's hot or cold. No starter action or gas pump noise of any kind. So far after several attempts it's started right up like there had been no problem. And most of the time it starts right up on the first try. Is this most likely the starter motor, solenoid or something else? Thank you for any help you may be able to give.
