Default Starter Problem?

91 vette with 128,000 miles. Never ending problems this last month... Go to start the car this morning, click..click...click...almost sounded like battery was dying. Hooked battery up to charger which showed is fully charged. After attempting 3 or 4 more times with the clicking occurring each time it finally started. Go to work...go to start the car to come home same thing and eventually starts. Does this sound like the starter??? Solenoid??? Thanks

check your battery cables. a little corrosion can call all sorts of problems.

You have classic symptoms of poor cable connections to the battery. Remove the cables (neg first) and clean the cable lugs, the battery terminals and the bolts and replace (neg last). You want your battery connections to be like your lover, bright and tight.
