As im no expert with vehicle electrics.. i have to swallow my pride and post a assistance requisition lol.
My vehicle starter is playing up. i can place a fully charged up battery in the vehicle and then when i turn my key i just hear a clicking sound. i can turn the key 2 -10 times and hear the click.. sometimes though the starter turns and vehicle starts!. i can pull up fuel up then when i attempt to start car.... click.. keep turning key until it eventually starts!.. i have tested 2 fully charged batteries on my car with the same result.
so i have narrowed down to the following possible faults:
1) ignition block
2) earth related
3) bolloxed starter.
any assistance, testing ideas welcome
cheers_ Gunner
ps:
As a rule of thumb, if you hear clicking but nothing else, you solenoid is working but the motor isnt. If you hear a whirr but not the engine turning, the motor works, but the solenoid isnt engaging it.
