Every now and then it will not start. I replaced the battery, had the battery wires connecting to the starter checked, replaced the starter and replaced the ingnition swith. When it won't start I turn the key and all the regular lights/sounds at start up are fine and I have strong power from the battery but when I turn the key the rest of the way nothing happens, no noises at all. I have tried to shift into neutral with the brake pressed and start but that doesn't work either. I tried to start an hour later and it started fine. Any suggestions? Karen

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

When it won't start next time, get a test light and check for 12V at the small starter solenoid wire, if no power it will be a fault in the circuit if power it will be in the starter motor, do this and report your findings for further assistance.
