94 starting problems.

Had the same problems with my 97 Explorer. New battery, six month old starter. Would start three or four times, just going shopping etc., and when it came to the last stop, wouldn't start. Changed the negative battery cable, from the battery to the starter body, turned out to be enough rust on the connections to allow only a trickle back into the battery. Have not had a problem since, even in this -30 cold!
