I went through the same issue.


Get to the starter and I think you'll find the ground strap from the solenoid to the motor will be loose. In my case, the resistance created enough heat after enough attempts to actually create contact and the starter would crank.

Replaced the starter and all has been well since.
Thanks for the tip. So would it not be possible to just replace the solenoid ground strap? Or is that an integrated part of the starter?
