Last Monday I was going out to lunch turned the key and my 2000 V6 Manual Contour didn't start and made a grinding noise. Waited and then tried again with same results. Third try, it started. Started for a week and then this morning same thing, but this time it wouldn't start and grinded. Tried 4 times. Is it my starter? Seems my battery is ok since lights, etc. turned on. What could it be? Where is the starter located? I may after work try to tap it and see if it ignites it. Please help me. Thanks.
