The car intermittently will not crank. I hear a click but no turnover. It starts fine for a month or so and then I'll go to the store or work or something, come out a few minutes later (or could be hours later) and no starting. No crank, no turnover, just click. The battery has plenty of juice, the battery cables have been replaced (terminals cleaned with lots of goop to prevent corrosion). Ground wire to the starter replaced. I took it to the dealer and of course it worked fine for a week, until I came to pick it up, they pulled it out turned off the engine and since I have the magic touch, it failed on me right in front of them. The mechanic tapped on the starter with a wrench a few times and then it started right up. Said it was the starter, so they replaced the starter motor and core return. Worked fine for two months and then failed again! Any ideas what in the world it could be? Thanks for any suggestions you may have! Greggo
