Tom's probably right but do this first.Just because your head light seem
ok, the starter draws alot more amps.Pull battery and have it checked
out.I've replaced more batteries than tires in my van in the last 15
years. About 5 years ago during Christmas shopping spree, my van just
quit.And it turned out to be the battery.Figure that one out? If not
battery go for the starter, but John don't forget to remove the ground
strap on the battery, unless you like Kramer's hair style.     Marcus
