OK sooo.... my car wont start (again). I went to pepboys to pick up some window cleaner and put it in the car, went to start the car and nothing happened. not even a click. so i tried to jump the started and nothing then. I check my wiring for the neutral safety switch overide and its good. I just cant figure it out... does it sound like a bad starter?

BTW 1995 Mustang V6 is my car.

you may want to check the electrical part of the switch in the steering column after 13 years it may be getting a little worn... just somewhere to start. it s a big rectangle plug about 1 1/2 by 3 inches maybe hope this helps....

check the ground on the starter. they have a tendancy to come loose. my original was only crimped on. it shorted my starter. so i bought the bosch with the bolt on connections.

the plug i was talking about alot of wires hanging on it and they tend to wear the connector and if you drove it all the bouncing and turning of the wheel will affect it. it may be in that spot wear it wont make a connection and not start. and it could be like the others said check the ground at the starter they are bad about coming loose with time...
