Hello All,
My 82 300CD starter refuses to respond. No click, nothing. Battery is fine.
Can the solenoid be replaced separately from the starter? What other starter
relays, fusable links, etc., might be at fault?
Thanks,
Bruce

I think it's called leadership. Presidents also appoint supreme court
justices, negotiate treaties, and veto legislation on occasion. Finally,
they appoint all those others that advise the president and run all the
executive departments. I don't think Lincoln's main function was speech
making.
What was the question?
