[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1080098, member: 3828"] The loss of gauges indicates a severely low voltage condition during cranking. Anything that can cause the battery voltage to appear to be low can be the cause. As others have said, the most likely cause would be the battery. Even a battery that tests OK would be suspect in my book just because it is such a classic battery symptom. Next most likely would be a bad (resistive) connection to the battery terminals (either positive or negative) or wiring which could result in the low voltage when high current is being called for by the starter. Only after absolutely every other possibility has been eliminated would I consider the starter as the culprit. Yes, it has happened before, but not nearly as often as the other scenarios, and it is far more invasive to yank the starter, and even more expensive to buy a new one. [/QUOTE]
