"I try to start the car the warning lights dim and it sounds like it's engaging, it just won't turn."

This just like my starter troubles last time. Starter not operational when ignition key is turned to KP III. Dashboard lights dim during attempted start.

So I replaced the battery. For a few weeks all was well.

Then it happened again. No start BUT lights didn't dim this time. When I shorted the starter's solenoid terminal to its own positive terminal it did turn very well. Car did start using key after that. So I suspected the ignition switch. Replaced it and all was well for almost a year.

Only recently past few months no start again. This time I know the starter must be replaced. Its about 10 years old, car used almost daily to commute to work.

Replaced starter new OE Bosch. No issues after that.


Amarin.

Edit: Transmission switch still ok. Even engaged to N still not starting during those times.
