im not sure if theres been a topic on this already but when i try to start my ea, just turning the key nothing happens, except a ticking like a relay trying to work in the engine bay, with the battery light coming on in time with the clicks, but if you leave it and keep trying to start the car slowly more power seems to come through as the radio gets power then finally after about 10 mins the car started? this has happend twice now first time i thought it was weird but worked fine after till now any ideas whats happening i was thinking, a relay or solinoids on the starter motor?

ignotion barrel? if you're not getting ACC power, i'd be looking in that area. The clicking indicates a relay however. work out what one is cliking and replace it.
