RE: [T3] Help...it wont start


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Jim,

Thanks for the immediate response.  Even on a weekend, this list cranks.

When I do turn the key from ON to START, the generator lights do dim a
little bit while the key is turned.  Is it possible that the battery has
enough juice for the interior lights and dash, but nowhere near enough to
turn the engine, much less even make a sound?

Given your observations, unless the dash lights go off when you turn the
key 
to START I'd say that the problem is in your ignition switch.

If the dash lights go off when you do this, then there are lots of
possibilities. 
It would be a bad connection somewhere, or a nearly dead battery.
