starter misery...part ii, what i've done so far Options

[fatlando]

What i've done so far...


I cleaned the ground strap on the transmission. I had to take off the muffler to get to it, but I cleaned it till it was a nice shiny brass!

put it back on and nothing. just the familiar hum.

I disconnected the battery and cleaned up the terminals and posts and tried it again...

nothing.

What I'm doing next.

Tomorrow I'm taking the starter to get it tested to see if it's the starter or solienoid. It's a rebuilt Bosch that i bought from NAPA.

If it's ok, I'll get a new battery and see if thats it.

Questions...

If I purchase the new battery, and it still doesn't go, do I check the ignition switch? And if I do...How do I do it?

Or should I replace the Battery Cables and Ground (battery and one to starter)

I used to be apprehensive about working on my teener, but I've gotten my confidence and am ready to work on it!

your experience and knowledge is welcome!

read ya soon!!
