Define dying. Dying as in quits running while on the road? Dying as in a dead battery and the starter won’t crank the engine over?

From your post it sounds like you’re describing an inoperative starter motor. If that is the case does the starter motor crank very slowly, do nothing at all including no solenoid click sound, etc.?
