Sure it wasnt a connection issue? Battery, cables (both ends of both cables), little wire to the starter solenoid, ignition switch at the base of the column are all possibilities to check.

I've always liked the greens. Almost ordered my C7 in the Lime Rock Green color but stayed with red. Looks like your power antenna needs some repair. Been there/done that and it wasn't fun!

The Denso starter misbehaves if the car has been sitting up a lot, Nations Starter and Alternator has the repair kit for about 10 bucks. One of the easiest fixes there is on a C4.

later, tiny
