Default 2005 Lr3 won't start

Hello everyone,
I have an Lr3 and it's giving he a hard time starting up. It took me 3 hours to get her going the other night. Thinking it was the battery I had it tested and came back being a good battery. When I turn the ignition I get the 2 clicks and it sounds like it's coming from the glove compartment. I am leaning more towards the starter going bad. Any suggestions before I take it back to the dealer and try to get it fit by them. Thanks..

That would be my guess. Before I did any real work, I'd check the connections on the battery, verify they're tight AND clean. Look for corrosion on the cable itself. I've not heard of the LR3s doing this, but the D2 suffered it a bit on the positive cable running down to the starter.

Your post is timely, if you end up doing it yourself, someone recently did a writeup on it!
