Drove in a thunder storm yesterday, stop for gas and car starter would not kick in. Finally it turned and car started. When I arrived home car would not start for 1 day now. There seems to be no power to the starter.

Hello, is the theft lite flashing? Check the circuits at the starter relay, underhood fuse box. Unplug the relay, have helper turn key to crank, use a testlite, two of those terminals should be hot? Let us know what you find.

The starter wires were dirty with dexcool leaking on them for a while. They were also still wet. I removed the 4 screws and wires, sanded all the tips, put it back together. The car is starting fine now.
