    Now it won't turn over

    The headlights come on strong so it's not a dead battery.

    When I turn the key I get the dreaded clicking noise.

    With only 28,000 miles on this baby I didn't expect the starter motor to go.

    I took it out of park and let it roll back a bit, tried again. Same clicking.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Try to turn it over with the headlights on. If the lights go from bright to real Dim, it's your battery. But could be caused by a week Altenator or a bad cell in the Battery. also check the connection on the starter...Good Luck !

    Happen to me too. I replaced the battery and problem solved. I changed to a bigger amp battery... a NS120.

    Thanks to both of you. I tried the lights on/start and the lights went dim. So it looks like a new battery.
