I bought my 1987 Coupe about 3 months ago with 80K on the odometer. It's the car that I dreamed about for years. I've been driving it every chance that I get.
When I bought the car, the trim on the driver's side was loose. The former owner had ordered a trim piece but had not installed it. About a week ago, I drove the car to work and it sat in the sun during the day. When I got in the car, I noticed silicone dripping down the door, (where he had glued the trim and tried to repair where he had broken the top of the door interior).
This weekend, I took the door off, replaced the trim and repaired the broken plastic.
Up to this time, the car started everytime I turned the key.
Since I repaired the door, sometimes it will start, other times it just sits there. When it won't start; I turn the key - the dash lights; radio, blower, etc all work, but the starter does not turn, not even a click. The battery is fully charged. The strange part is that I can leave the car and come back in 5 to 10 minutes and it starts right up.
I've heard stories about the security system not allowing the car to start. Can you'all help?
Thanks
John
