My old 1987 244GL didn't want to take me home from work last night. It had no problem getting me to work, or letting me go out to lunch, but I guess it didn't want to go home.
I've got all the dash lights working, radio, headlights, wipers, the whole shebang, but she just won't turn over. I'll turn the key and nothing. the lights dim like usual, but nothing happens. I don't even hear the solenoid clicking. The battery has plenty of juice. I've been thinking that it could be the "Park" indicator? Maybe the car thinks it's still in drive?
Maybe it's a bad solenoid? Any ideas, I'm at a loss right now.
