If there is just a click but no starter turning over, then it is a problem with the power to the starter solenoid. Either the Security relays contacts are pitted, or it needs a Bosch relay fitted to the solenoid.

Thanks Harvey!

If the starter engages then the car starts right up. I don't think it's the starter. It seems like a dirty contact prior to the starter getting power. I'm thinking that the Bosch relay sounds like a more likely solution.

My problem is that I don't know specifically what to buy to try to fix this problem. Any specifics would be most appreciated!
