Greetings. New to the forum. Car has been starting and running great in the 10 days I've owned it but refused to crank last night. Delco battery appears to be fine. Gauges sweep, all lights nice and bright, I can hear a clicking when I depress the clutch with key on, fuel pump comes to life. Tried to jump it and same result. I've read several posts but would like to know the best route to take before I start chasing dead-ends. It's not my daily driver so it can sit in the garage and think about what its done until I get it figured out.
I researched how to pull the codes and they are as follows:
58 SDM B1001 H
U1064 H
80 RADIO U1064 H
A0 LDCM B2284 H
U1064 H
A1 RDCM B2283 H
B2285 H
U1064 H
Thanks!
Mark

Load testing the battery and checking those connections (clean and tight) first will be easier. The starter connections are a little harder to get at but will need to be checked if the battery is good.
Battery connections are clean and tight. If it was a bad battery, wouldn't attempting to jump start it this morning have cranked it up if all else was working properly?

Not necessarily. I've seen batteries with a shorted cell, and car would not jump start.
I'll pull the battery tonight and have it tested. Is it possible to get to the starter from above to look at the connections / hit it with a rubber mallet?

Nope. If you are going to inspect the wiring to the starter, take a meter down there with you, and check for 12 volts to the purple wire(terminal S), when the key is turned to start.
Had the battery tested and it is fine. Going to throw it up the air and look the starter over. Any suggestions after I check that out are greatly appreciated!
Well, that's a little odd. Got underneath the car to check out the starter. Whacked it with a rubber mallet a few times first to see if that would solve anything. No such luck. Put a meter on it and was getting 12V in the start position. Tried to start it several more times while I pondered what to check next. About 30 minutes later, it decided it would start. I took it for a drive and stopped by the auto parts store to have them check the alternator. It was fine. I'm obviously somewhat confused but am assuming one of you guys will have an answer. I'm definitely not pronouncing the problem as fixed. Thanks for helping a new guy out.
