It’s a 1989 dl, standard shifter. It won’t start and does not even turn over.
OK, so it was freezen cold and the battery was a few years old. Got a new one.
Had starter tested and it was fried. Replaced that.
Still, no turnover. Tried the ol’ screwdriver on the starter trick and got a pronounced zzzzzzzzzzzzzzttttttttttttt, but it didn’t move the engine.
I have investigated both my Bently Manual and the FAQ, but got no leads.
What else could it be? Ignition? Can I test that?
I have a multimeter, but am not totally versed with it.

Please help me in dealing with this frustration, and thanks.
