Help my sis get her brick to start, please.

Thanks for the reply.

I got back with the hubby and he affirmed that the lights and all were strong - but it would not turn over at all.

Then he said he jumped the contacts at the Starter and it just whirred, so he is going to replace the starter. Does this always indicate a bad starter / solenoid? I really don't think he is doing enough to know.

I did find in my Haynes manual that most of the problems associated with this relate to grounds and contacts, so I am hoping that he is not replacing the starter too quickly - when it could be a connection.
