Ah Damn..*grrrr*

Okay heres the deal...when I hit the key..nothing..just a clicking sound..I need to turn it off and on about 5 times before it will crank once it cranks it starts right up..battery is a brand new GM item..I am thinking solonoid or starter..or maybe both..any other ideas before I crawl under and take out the starter?..battery is charging nicely so I know thats not the problem

I'm no expert but almost sounds like a bad ground.

Could be that as well. The clicking sounds is what made me think there might not be enough current. A bad solenoid could cause the same problem.
