Okay... yesterday I drove my VX home from work. When I started it, it started right up and I drove home and parked it.

Later that evening (4-5 hours later) I went out to the VX and tried to start it up to leave. The dome light was dim and it didn't even roll over. I left it because I had to be somewhere.

Tonight, we tried to jump it off of my wife's car and all we got was this rapid clicking sound. Dead starter?

The battery terminals were pretty corroded, but cleaned them and no dice.

When you try to start it w/ no jump vehicle connected, I'll get some noise through my hands-free cell phone kit and the lights will blink in time with the clicking of the starter. The dome light also dims and then eventually returns to normal after you stop trying to start it.

I'm thinking a ****-canned starter killed my battery. Thoughts?

How hard is the starter on the VX to replace?
