   Susan to All   
   91 SR5 4x4 won't turn over

   Hey folks,   
      
   1991 SR5 4x4 Truck   
      
   Kept in excellent condition. Parked it in the backyard and didn't   
   happen to drive it for about 10 weeks. Had a solar charger attached to   
   battery. Went to start it and nothing. Doesn't click, doesn't turn   
   over, doesn't make a sound. The battery is fully charged (checked it   
   with a battery charger) and the warning lights come on when I turn the   
   key to the on position. Also has auto door locks and they spring up   
   and down with the keyfob nice and strong, plus the headlights work.   
      
   Things I checked:   
      
   Not in gear   
   Placed foot on brake when I tried to start it   
   Alarm system is off as it should be   
   Wheels are not turned   
   Plenty of gas   
   Distrubtor cap, wires and plugs under 1yr old   
   Battery newer and terminals totally clean   
      
   It was driving perfectly when I parked it last, and has not had any   
   problems with starting or even intermittent problems starting.   
      
   So with the battery good and strong, and NOTHING when I turn the key,   
   are we looking at a starter that just died? Is that how they go? All   
   at once?   
      
   Thanks for any guidance.
