Mine looked clean as well. Are you positive that they are OK?

Which is why I am assuming the cables are going bad.  The terminals are
clean, they were just a little loose.  Tightening them last night at home
didn't solve the issue as I had the same problem this morning.  Guessing
that I am going to price out some cables.
Thanks,
JB

Happened to me on my '93. A good wire brushing of the cables and battery
posts helped immensely.

Last night after work, I went to start the car and got nothing, not even a
click.  The autolights had come on, so I turned them off, turned off the
EATC and it started right up.  I checked the connections at the battery, and
all though they were a little loose, they were on and clean and the wires
are not looking frayed.  I had the battery checked and it's okay.  I am
assuming this has to do with the cables.  Does this seem like the logical
conclusion?  Also, would these cables being bad  cause other electrical
items to work haphazardly?  An example, my autolight function stopped
working for the two or three side trips I took last night but started
working again this morning on the way in.  If it is the cables, what is the
recommendation for the best replacements, or is it pretty generic?
Thanks,
JB
