I have to put my hood issue on hold at the moment, as funds are very very limited right now. I have greater issues... Ok, the car has power, but as I was about to drive it last night (and it started fine) i noticed that one of my headlights was working. The other flickered once, or would not come on, while one worked fine, until I flicked on the foglights, and then it would flicker. I parked the car, and now it won't start. There is no clicking noise at all, and the battery with the multimeter showed 10.29 on a red optima. There seems to be no dimming of lights, and I am wondering if it might be the starter.
