I agree with Noshun on this one. I expect my 94 design mimics your 95 with the oil dipstick almost directly above the selenoid connections. When i do my oil checks an occasional drip of oil will fall from the stick and onto the connections. any slight spill often finds it's way there too. Electricity and oil do not mix well, and often the wiring becomes oiled and dirty leading to poor connections on the starter motor. the sheathing will soften and oil will saturate the buisness end of the harness. Next time, have someone turn over the engine and look for a telltale puff of smoke, and/or a slight crackle on the connector. Thats how I discovered my problem, which is exactly as yours presents. Best to start at the battery connexions and clean and preen the whole assy imo. My other 94 gets a new (rebuilt) starter assy this week and I'll be paying as much attn to the harness as to the mech install. Be careful to make sure the wiring on both independent connections to the selenoid do not short to each other when reconnecting the assy or you'll have a starter engage as you reconnect the battery cables! Makes for an interesting response!
