The cause of all my starter woes in Chicago, apparently, was the idiot switch in the gear selector mechanism (auto trans). I have bypassed it for now by simply jumping the starter leads that plug into the switch. Ironically, it was the first thing I checked but even repeated "working" of the shift lever did not consistently cause or eleviated the starter fault. I got a new Bosch starter and better ground connections out of my trials!
