Darn Thing wont Start!!!#@%$)(
My 95 country seems to have a problem with the solnoid, it has lots of power but wont start. There is a single click when i turn the key over, that would indicate to me that the solnoid is F*ked up or not grounding properly. Does anyone have any experience with this? It had ran and started fine not even 12 hours prior to this morning when i tighted my screeching fan belt.

If cleaning the battery connections does not fix your problem, gently tap on the starter and solenoid with a ratchet or wrench (something metalic). If it starts right up after doing that then you need a new starter. Tapping like this will make it last a little longer but, the problem is a bad solenoid or bad bearing in the starter.
