I would check the battery - it could have failed (ie; not holding a charge). When was the current battery installed in the car?

If the battery checks OK, it could be the alternator that isn't charging the battery properly.

You don't mention what engine you have - if it's the V6, the problem could be in the distributor.

What is the current situation? Does is turn over, click only, doesn't turn over. If you did have a bad
starter it may have popped #8 fuse under the hood (ign..).

Hope this helps,

Gerry G.
