I have noticed this occurring more frequently lately. But here we go Symptoms: When cold and not driven for a while, I turn the key and nothing. Sometimes if I hold the key in the start position it cranks after a good count 10-15 secs. Sometimes not at all. It never does this after being driven. I could drive some where and get out for a few hours and it starts right up. Let it sit overnight and this situation might come up might not. But it is getting more frequent. I have not checked the connections at the starter yet but intend to pull them and clean all the contacts. But while I am at it what else should I/could I check?
