[Shotimes] 93 SHO, No Start, No Click, No nothing. Please Help!!!

[kickinsho]

I agree with the battery cable thing.  On two of my cars, several times, I
had no start - no noise!  It did turn out both times to be the battery
cables.  The '93 got a new set of OEM I had laying around and the '91 got
the gold cable ends that had been mentioned by someone here on the list.  I
got them from Wal-Mart.

Both cars have been fine (in this area) since.  =)
