I've heard about this problem before. You've been driving on a warm day and, at some inconvenient stop, the starter won't engage. Dead. Nothing. Nada. Battery is fine but no action from the solenoid. Bump start works and you get back to your home just fine. Next day the car starts as if nothing was wrong. People with more knowledge than I, and they are legion, tell me that this is a common problem with the teener. Thanks for that but I would like to know what the root cause problem is. My car has been run on hotter days for longer periods and this is the first time I've experienced this failure. Is it a wiring problem, a weak fuse, a tired old original part or what? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.
