I changed the battery, thinking it was the culprit. Tests 12.5v. Running tests 14v.
This morning I turned the key and "click". Tried again and it started no problem. I had cleaned and regreased the starter/solenoid this winter as it was sticking and it has been working flawlessly until the last couple of days. I will check the battery tomorrow morning before I try to start it to see if there is some drain. Other suggestions?
