RE: Starter trouble....
If the engine is starting to turn but then quits and the solenoid starts clicking that's usually a weak battery or a bad connection somewhere.
Try getting a jump start from someone,if the engine still starts to spin but stops and clicks then it could be the solenoid or the connections on the starter.This is where it gets interesting.
To remove the starter and solenoid you need lots of extensions to be able to get to the top starter mounting bolt.Go in from the front and use patience.Keep hammers and other things that can be used as a weapon out of sight until you finish.

check the seals and grommets around each of the lights/bulbs for any cracks or something, if u find anything im sure a silicone sealant should work...someone else may have an easier cure...
