OH! OK, thanx! I found it. I couldn't tell from those
schematics---they make it look like everthing is right next to
eachother.

OK, yup---got 2 clicks with a whirr inbetween.

Car won't start. Happened a few times intermittantly, both cold and
hot. When she did start, she ran great. Now she won't start at all.
(I'm pretty sure I've run my battery down at this point). The engine
turns over, but won't "catch" and run. That's it---no weird noises, no
smoke, no sputtering. I put in a new starter motor this spring, when
the same thing was happening. Also put in a new generator around the
same time---mine was really worn.
I'm stumped.
