But now I have a small challenge...<br>
<br>
The other day I tried to start it for the first time in many months, using a brand new battery. First, it cranked and cranked, slowing down as it tried to start. Next time - nothing. Just a solid CLICK. I mistakenly took this to mean that I needed a new solenoid, which I bought and installed. That wasn't the answer. I turn the key and get a solid CLICK. The battery is still good - lights and such work fine.<br>
<br>
My question is, what's the next step to diagnose this?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
