starter solenoid may be going out
My 98 7g has a reoccurring problem. Turn the key to first click and all the idiot lights light up (check engine, oil, battery, seat belt, brake and SRS) but when I continue to turn key to engage starter, nothing happens; no cranking, no noise, no nothing. What is strange is sometimes it fires off the first time and other times I might have to turn the key six or seven times before the starter engages. When the starter does engage, car fires right up. Battery is good. Suggestions on what to check? Thanks, jjj

Starter is going. Check battery voltage and as long as it's above 12.4 most likely the starter.

You could also grab a friend and check signal to the solenoid with a test light ground the test light as the signal has power make sure the test light works and verify power to signal wire when you turn the key if you have power every time you turn the key all the way the starter is bad. If you have a dvom you could also do a voltage drop test on the power and ground (starter body to block) that's if you wanna get technical with it. But most likely it's a bad starter.
