All,

The van developed a starting problem over the past couple of days.  The battery is fully charged, newish, and fine. Also tried jumping the car; no go.  I can push start it. Tested a second ignition switch.  Both the original and the spare cause an audible clicking of the starter motor.

Current symptoms:  Turn key over, hear fuel pump.  Move key to start, hear clicking of starter motor

Questions: 

1) The Bentley shows taking the starter apart to clean commutator.  Is that recommended?

2) How can I be sure it is starter?  Can it be the solenoid?

3) Local shop what carries GoWesty parts is closed this week. Any suggestions on where to get a new starter motor and type?

Thanks,

Doug
