Electrical/Computer problem
2003 Chevy Cavalier Front Wheel Drive Automatic 85000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
This morning my girlfriend's car won't start.
+1+ When the key is turned forward, gauges and lights come on as normal. Radio and other systems work fine.
+2+ When key is moved to ignition, all guages and idiot lights except for check engine die. The engine does not turn over or make any noise. The headlights do not dim. A faint clicking sound can be heard behind the instrument panel.
+3+ When key is returned to forward position, guages and lights behave exactly as in +1+
12/01
The battery isn't dead, I tried jumping anyways but no results.
It seems like if it is the starter, the clicking should be louder.
The connection with battery is screw type, and no corrosion can be seen.
Briefly checked fuses in engine compartment, nothing jumped out at me as bad.
