This has happened 2 times about 4 days apart: I went to start my car and when I put the key in the ignition, all the lights came on like normal, then when I tried to crank it, it lost power and the dash lights dimmed to where you could barely see them, but everything else like radio and headlights still worked. I kept trying to start the car, the second time it clicked once, but didn't crank, then it didn't make any noise at all when I tried to start it. I tried to jump start it off an escort, but nothing happened, then I got one of those power things that have to be plugged in an outlet and it made the battery gauge go almost all of the way up, this time it did start. By the way, both times that this happened, it started the second time that I jump started it.
When it happened the first time, I thought it was my battery, so I switched it, and then it did it again. Autozone checked my battery and alternator which is about 1 month old and said they are ok.
Has anyone had this problem? I need to get this fixed because it always fails at the worst possible time.
Right now I am trying to remove my starter so I can get it checked, but I am stuck on the second bolt. It is really hard to get anything around it. Have any of you removed your starter on a 3.8?
