FC starting problems.....

Not new to the Rotary scene at all but new to the forum!! Been having throuble the past two weeks with my car and it's gone from running, driving, starting perfect to not even turning over at all and then to starting after it has set a little while. Searched it and some say it may be a 'Bad lead wire' going to the solenoid BUT idk about that. Let me put you in the driver's seat: I'll open the door, turn the key on and the seat belt, brake, AND check engine light will be on(seatbelt and brake are self explanatory but I'm just givin every bit of info). It was never on before but I've gotten it now to where it will start. I can drive it around for a little while then turn the car off. If I try to start it back immediately, I will get absolutely nothing. If I let it sit for about 10 minutes, it will start right back up. ANY help would be great or a walk through of how to replace the 'Bad lead wire'. I even thought it may be a bad ground like on a Honda and threw an extra ground wire from the chasis to the motor just for to see! Someone please help me out and tell me I'm not crazy! Thanks!

Likely a bad starter solenoid. Take the starter to a parts store that can test it / replace.
