That sucks! Are you taking it somewhere in Bethlehem? My wife is from there and I was wondering if I ever needed to take the beast in when I was down there, where I should go?

I have a cheap fix for starter click as well.
The presumption is - one key turn - one click and almost no headlight dimming, if you have a few clicks or light dim - it's probably a battery issue.
Starter itself doesn't fail, brushes, motor basically are good, the weak point in our Mitsubishi starter is solenoid, which is unrepairable, but not expensive unit. It costs 35 $
It's just to unbolt two bolts, to remove and to reinstall new unit. 3 minutes, providing you've removed the starter itself. In total it's one hour to remove and install starter, so it's cheaper than to replace starter even by re-manufactured unit.
To remove a starter front drive shaft must be removed.
