I have a 1999 Merc (GM) 5.7L with a Bravo III drive. On a random basis when I turn the key I get a click and no crank. If I turn the key it may click again several times, then it may crank. It may then crank and start when I turn the key for days, then randomly act up. Batteries are charged. The starter is several years old and has few miles on it. It has a new ignition switch. My former mechanic (former cause he moved several states away) said he thinks it is the slave solenoid. Before I go changing out parts I would like to have some confirmation. Also would like any tips on diagnosing this, but figure it will be hard if a random problem. It may click on the first turn of the key, then start on the next turn of the key; or it may start ten times in a row, then just click several times on the next several turns of the key.
