Went out to start the beast today and heard a pop and then saw a spark or two from the starter solenoid and now turn the key and nothing happens... car ran fine yesterday.. nothing was touched.. nothing changed.. go out today......won't start.. wont even click or anything..no power at all.. :(
 
Do you have an external solenoid as in the stock clothing, or do you have an aftermarket starter with the solenoid on the starter? Either way, check the wire connections to verify they are tight, and clean. If not start there, then check the heavy cable to the starter to see if it is shorted to or rubbing on anything. If not I would guess the solenoid has an internal short, and replace it. Hope this helps.
