possible starter?
Not sure if I have a starter problem. On Saturday I disconnected my battery to work on my doors and this is all the mx I have done.
But now when I go to start the car either hot or cold the dash lights come on and then when I switch the key to start nothing...not even the tick tick tick of a starter going out. I have to cycle the key 5 or 6 times before the engine even turns over but when it does it fires right up.
Could this possibly be the starter or something else? I made sure my battery connection was tight....thanks for ur help.

My starter just died finally at 180k miles. It was totally obvious to me. For a few weeks before it got bad I would turn the key the first time, and nothing would happen. After a few days it would turn, but u could tell it was struggling. Then at the end it was really struggling to turn over, and had to turn the key 2-3 times to get it started. But no dash lights came on. Nice cause the old starter gave me plenty of warning it was really to die, and I got it swapped out without being stranded.
