If you heard a click then I would say to check all of your battery connections including the grounds and the wires on the starter. Did by any chance you leave anything on that may have killed the battery?

The satellite radio won't drain the battery. I have left mine on for much longer than that.
If you have a volt meter check the batteries to make sure they have voltage. like I said above check the connections, a lose connection will exhibit the same symtoms that your describing. Kenny how old are tha batteries?

You have a dead spot on the starter. When you tapped it it "moved" from the dead spot.
After the connections I was going to suggest you try that next. Time for a new starter. You should get a DB. Do you have the link?

Talking to kenny on the phone right now as we speak, just wanted to let all of you know that he smacked the starter a few times with a LFH and it started... Looks like i gotta find that receipt now...
