Geoff Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) How is the charge in the battery. A hydrometer will give an indication. Perhaps have the battery checked by an auto electrician , it's normally a free service. If the battery is OK , check all connections between the battery & the starter to ensure they are both clean (no underlying corrosion) & tight If the problem remains then have the electrician test the load & circuit on the starter motor. There may be a short or some type of resistance. Geoff Edited September 22, 2009 by Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) to me it sounds like it may have a dodgy cell I'm with Geoff have an electrician load test the battery & check the starter motor circuit Edited September 22, 2009 by Chris 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg123 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 does it seem powered the first try and then not at all after? or is it on and off randomly no matter how many times you try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
