Ever since the car overheated on June 15, I noticed a grinding noise when starting it. Not all the time, but was there. The car started right after the short noise and ran fine. I have only started the car maybe 10 times since then and now it won't start at all. I would say that the grinding noise was not a big enough problem to cause this, but I don't know. When I turn the key, nothing happens. The battery is charged and everything works, but the starter won't do anything. My dad came over and we first jumped the battery cable at the starter to the solonoid and it started fine. We assume that the starter is OK, and went to the relays. I swapped the ignition relay for the similar high beam relay and the car started, and the high beams worked. We thought the problem was fixed and he left. Four hours later I went into the garage to try it again and it had the problem again, so maybe it's not the relay. I can hear a slight clicking from the relay compartment when I try to start it, but no clicking from the starter. NOthing but the relay noise. I cleaned the resistor behind the engine and can't think of anything else needs to be cleaned. The car has been taken care of and has 6500 miles. If the problem is the key switch, how do I hot-wire the car to check? If this is a common problem, what other causes are there. FYI the car runs fine and I have never had a problem with it. I pull started it when it wouldn't start the first time, but don't want to do that again or get under the car to start it (or have some rewire contraption in the relay compartment.)
