Check out that page it shows how to remove and rebuild the switch. Alot cheaper than having to replace it.

I pulled it apart and reinstalled it. I now have clicking at my silinold. I still think its the starter or silinold. Even though it tested good.

Oh well, work on it again tomorrow........

Glad to hear it's back up and running. When you posted that now you could hear the starter clicking next thing I was gonna suggest is checking cables. Only thing that's needed for repayment around here is just continuing to help out others when they have problems you think you know how to fix.

This was quite the problem.

So what had to be replaced was, a new battery as the internal plates in the battery were shorted, the alternator was fried as well as the main wire feeding the PDC under the hood, a few fuses. A rebuild of the NSS and then a head gasket replacement.

Thanks all for your help.

If I can help with the next issue I will be glad to contribute when I can.
