Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Suspect faulty starter solenoid or ignition switch. Remove starter from vehicle and have it tested at a local part store. Most will do this test for free of charge. If starter and solenoid test OK, replace ignition switch. If you need further assistance just let me know.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
