The battery's fully charged as far as I can tell. But, I don't have a whatchamacallit to check for certain, all I base that assumption on is the fact that the headlights are bright and everything else works fine electricity-wise.
The reason I thought it might be the solenoid is because I used to have solenoid problems with two previous cars, and the symptoms were the same...the headlights will turn off during the attempted start...they always turn off of course just as you start, but in this case they turn off while the key is turned even tho the starter doesnt turn... Anyway, I am not savvy enough to draw conclusions... I've wanted to tap the starter a bit, and will now try and find it, thanks to your instructions.
