Ok, after driving home from work last sunday, my car sat for a few days. later on last week I went out to start it, and it seemed as if the battery had died. I hooked the battery up to my friend's battery, and it still wouldn't start. The thing is, it seems like its closer to actually turning over when its hooked up to someone else's battery. Is this a starter problem? I need to fix this w/o paying someone else to do it, and I don't want to pay for a diagnostic. Is it a safe bet for me to just replace the starter?
Thank you for any help -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

had it taken in, and after a $40 tow and $98 diagnostic, it was one of my fuses. ARRRRG, none of them looked blown at all, even the mechanic was going nuts trying to find out what was wrong. But in the end I got the pleasure of paying about $140 to have a fuse replaced
