Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, make sure the battery connections are clean and tight. Take a look through this link:

If the terminals are in good condition, next check the starter itself. Follow this link:

Let me know if there are other questions and if this helps.

Take care,
Joe

Hi Joe. Thanks for the advise. I removed the starter and opened up the solonoid. Found corrosion inside. Cleaned and sanded terminals. Put back together mounted starter back, connected wiring and started first time.
