I have taken each of the battery cables off and cleaned cleaned them and sanded them with sandpaper, I did this to both ends of each cable and reconnected. It seems like it should be an easy fix,........ either a bad connection or a bad starter solenoid. But it is apparently neither of those problems. This is starting to make me sad, as this is the first time EVER that I have had a problem with the car. Patrick

My ever faithfull 81 GL wagon has failed me for the first time EVER. All it does when I turn the key is make a "click" noise somewhere under the hood. I replaced the starter thinking it was the starter solenoid but it still does the same thing. The battery is 100% charged and all connections are good. It still only just clicks even with a 50amp boost from a battery charger. Any thoughts ? Is there a solenoid or relay somewhere that may cause that problem ? If so, where might it be located ? (I don't have anyone else here right now so I can't really tell where the clicking is coming from.) Thanks for any advice, Patrick
