It's most likely your solinoid. Disconect your
battery cables .(from the battery)Now disconect
the posative cable from the solinoid,followed by
the small wire marked 's'on the front of the solinoid. Next you can disconnect the ground strap that goes from the front of solinoid to the front of the starter.You will have to take both ends of it off to get the solinoid open.Remove the two screws in the end of the solinoid.Inside you will find a copper disk with a spring on the end of it. Clean it with emerycloth or a fine wire brush. Before you put it back togather,clean all of the other conections in the cover. It's not a bad idea to put a small dab of grease on the shaft end of the contact disk.

If all else fails.Try to take starter loose. Sometimes they will get stuck. When you get it loose it should set itself free. I do not beleive that you will have to take it off. Please let me know if this works. Thanks,Dave

Check and CLEAN all of your battery/cable connections. Charge the battery fully. Try again. Your starter solenoid, the part that the battery cable goes to, would be the next thing to check. Did you leave anything on that drains the battery? An outside shot: the starter could be getting bad.
