[DeTomaso] no crank, no start

[John Bentley]

and have a fire extinguisher nearby (and a change of drawers, band aids, and wear a helmet). :)  Try replacing the starter solenoid; cheap and easy.....

Can you connect jumper cables directly to the starter?

A few months ago, I went to start my car, and it would not start. It cranked, 
but no start. The next time I tried, a few days after that, no crank, no 
start.... just a click.

I thought that the battery was dead so I bought a new one. Same problem, no 
crank, just a click.

I returned the new battery and put the old one on a charger. I installed a 
negative battery cut-off in case there was a drain on the battery.

I thought the starter (6 year old db mini torque) might be bad, so I hit it a 
few times with a hammer. The car started right up!

A few weeks later, no crank just a click. Hitting the starter did not work. back 
to where I started.

I ordered a new starter from db electrical. I installed it tonight, and I still 
have the same problem. No crank. just a click.

any ideas on what might be wrong?

thanks in advance.

John
