I"m having problems starting my 95 Rodeo. Sometimes its fine and starts right up. Othertimes, it just makes that first click. But here's where it is getting tricky, (well for me anyway =) sometimes, after trying to start it repeatedly, very little power gets through, which makes it seem like its the battery... does this fall on line with the Locktronics system shorting out? I've heard they are simple to remove. Would someone please point me in the right direction?

I would first look at the battery and starter connections to make sure they are snug and clean. Then check to see if the starter relay is good.

Check the battery terminals, make sure they are CLEAN.
I pulled a starter one time, took it and had it check only to find out it was good, after a lot of fussing around I found out the battery terminals were corroded, after I scrubbed them the car started fine.

Sorry, I am just now getting around to working on this thing. I have checked the battery connectors. They were a bit corroded, but not the problem. I'm in the process of removing the starter, as i type with greasy fingers. I'll let you know how it goes... =)

Ok, removed the starter, checked the solenoid contacts, absolutely nothing wrong. =( Hmm... voltage seems to be fine. maybe its the relay. I have to bring that to a shop to have tested? is there any other things I should be looking for? the alternator was replaced a few months back, and the stereo was put in at the same time. Think one of those two things can be related to my current issues?
