    Car Quest has it for about $20 , I did not jump it yet cause it is in a hard spot to jump and have battery in place , I can use a home made wire lead and put battery back but i think I'll just take a chance and change it for the $20 risk . I remember now closer what i did see i was doing brakes (front) and the starter was on it's way out along with battery I hooked up a fast charger and i just kept trying to start auto with worn starter as i needed to keep turning the steering wheel to align front rotors to get at pads , I must have taken it to far and burnt out the fender solenoid
    Well their is a lesson - when I saw my starter was bad I just should have stopped as i did burn some thing else out
    Also the few last times it did start the motor ran as always PERFECT really smooth .I have had motors seize on me and it has always been a event that you remember
