1999 9-3 SE manual trans. 140K
Won't crank on most attempts to start. When I turn the key to start the car, it doesn't even crank. The dash and headlights dim with the key in start position and come back up when I let go. The car starts quickly sometimes when it is cold but not always. After running for a few minutes, if I turn it off and try to start it again, it won't crank. There is just a slight single click I can hear from under the steering column. Here's what I have done so far:
1. replaced the starter (tested "almost" bad at Autozone)
2. checked battery - good and charged
3. checked fuses - all good.
I would appreciate any ideas to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
