No clicking?? Usually a solenoid going bad clicks or whines. Sounds more
like your battery. Or possibly cable(s). How old is your battery? Cables
corroded? Loose?

Subject: DML: Dak won't start!?

Anyone help me out here with suggestions? I am leaning towards a bad starter
solenoid.
I drove my Dak to work today, it ran normal. After it sat there 7-8 hours, I
went to start it up and nothing. I mean nothing, no cranking, so starter
clicking, no fuel pump hum, nothing. I tried jumping it, nothing. The
battery gauge on the dash showed a lower than normal reading. So, I tested
the battery and it is fine. All of the fuses are fine also. About an hour
afterwards, just for shits and giggles, I tried to restart it.....varoom! It
started right up. The volt/amp gauge on the dash is now where it typically
is. Any thoughts?
