Jim:

Check the age of the start battery, it just may be that "Its time is up".

Things that I usually check:

Hydraulic system (make sure switch on floor is "off").

Various light switches (glove compartment, engine bay, etc.)


In addition;

There was a significant amount of corrossion on almost all of the contacts and terminals on my unit. This is to be expected in a vehicle 17+ years old. I took a day, disconnected a bunch of the terminals and contacts, and brushed them clean. Not sure if I got all of them or not, but most had a goodly amount of "crap" on the terminals and stud connectors.
