95 lumina won't start
ok, 95 lumina with 3.1. Wife went to drive car for the first time this afternoon (last driven yesterday) and when I heard her start it up it sounded weak but started up and she went on to work. Told her I would check it over tomorrow. Four hours later, she went to start it up to come home and it would not start. Here is what I've done so far...
1 - Checked voltage at battery and starter - Both ok.
2 - Checked fuses inside car and under hood - All ok.
3 - Checked for corrosion at battery connections - All clean.
4 - Tried to jump it off with my truck just to say I did it - No change
5 - All interior and exterior lights are working full strength, and all I can hear when she turns the key forward is a VERY FAINT click sound under the hood like the solenoid is pulling in but very softly. (lights never dim at all during this process either and voltage remains constant)
Things in my mind to try tomorrow (please add to this list if there is something here I'm not thinking of)
6 - Check for voltage at starter when key is turned
7 - Check brake switch (not hearing the audible clicking sound anymore) What is the proper way to check this??)
8 - Clean all connections at starter (car has small oil leak and it is fairly dirty)
