95 T-Bird - I need help!
I have had the battery and alternator tested - they both test out just fine. I replaced the positive connector on the battery after I found a little corrosion. It has been an on again, off again cranking process. Sometimes it will crank, sometimes it won't. When it decides not to start, it makes no sounds whatsoever - none - however the radio, clock, etc. never loses its memory. If the car runs for a little while and it won't restart - I can wait an hour or so and it will start right up - no hesitation. My next venture will be to check the starter - why, if the starter is bad, will it crank - and then after it runs for a little while it won't crank? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sounds like the starter...starters do that sometimes..
Usually they go dead..and that's it...but sometimes the starter will have a little life in it, and hook sometimes.. I forgot the name of the mechanism in the starter..but it wears down, and sometimes you can actually BANG the starter with a wrench while someone is trying to start her up..and the mechanism inside the starter will hook..

I checked all of the connections and they appeared to be tight...still had the same problem. I replaced the starter and all seems well. Thanks for the replies and ideas to help get me going again!
