I was visiting family in The Rockaways when Sandy hit. After the storm, I was able to start the vehicle AFTER I changed the battery. I even drove for about 1/2 mile. But after about two weeks of not driving and starting it up, I go to start it up and NOTHING. It does not crank, although all the dash lights illuminate, radio comes on and the power window / doors operate fine. I tried moving the shifter from P to N, but it does not even shift out of gear. I consider myself a triage mechanic and feel I should change the starter, check the related fuses and the neutral safety switch. BTW, I checked the oil and coolant and they are salt-water free.
My question to my fellow board members, is there anything I may have missed or should take note of? I only had liability on it and all FEMA can do is offer me a low-interest, long term loan. No thanks FEMA.
