I have a 1988 88 that will not start. It seemed fine for awhile and for
the last few days it have seemed to want to start slowly (i.e. like a
dead battery). Today, I get nothing. There is not clicking (like a
starter problem), the lights and all of the instruments light up okay
but it is just dead when I turn the key over. Any suggestions?

here might be a neutrol switch problem. in addition to battery. since
the battery is rotating slowly the day before, itis definately needs
new batteries. since is isnot clicking now (you can turn the lights
on), itmust be a switch or a control device.
