When turn key I get a Buzz sound like coming from the dashboard. Battery OK, lights will come on fine along iwith all the accesoryies. When turning the key the lights will not dim, just the buzz, that goes away in second or so, minor click. Not like the old cars when you could rock and release , then start, just that buzz
sometimes would get the buzz then back key off, then turn key again and car would start. Now just that buzz.
thanks

Hello zxasxz46

Use a jumper to bypass the solenoid is a trick that will show if the starter motor spins or not. If the starter works when bypassing the solenoid, the problem is with the ignition circuit.
(use one of the jumper cable)
