In about a month's time my taurus got harder and harder to turn over, previous to this it had sat in a garage for about 3 months. Before that I found out that the heater core is not working and the thermostat was gone for an uncertain amount of time, along with some leaking of the radiator (a small amount per week). Anyway, in the last 2 weeks of that month it was hard to start, when I turned it off it would not start for a while. As I drove it more I would have to wait longer and longer to restart it, and it got harder and harder for it to turn over. By the last week it turned over a little bit and then stopped, and never turned over again. I took the battery to auto zone and had it charged, put it in and it didnt work. Here is what happends now. The doom, headlights radio all work. When I try to start it I hear "one click" (starter?) and some faint sounds I dont know what they are. About one in a hundred tries it starts to turn over (belts move a tiny bit) and then stops. The headlights go out or go really low when I turn the key. I am moving to CA in one week. Is this something I can fix or do you all know some good salvage places in Chicago. I will appreciate any and all info. Thank you.

Hello!!! I'm not an expert but it sounds like your starter could be going bad. The same thing happened to my trans am.
Hope it helps
