Heardy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi Guys, got a starting problem I want to pick your brains on. Car is not starting, car was sluggish to turn over and old battery was low so brand new battery installed. Car started fine first time, took it for a drive and then it hasn't wanted to turn over since (I did think I could smell a slight electrical smell on the drive last night but I can't confirm this) All electrics currently work. Fuel pump primes. Ignition clicks. Engine does not turn. Possibly thinking a dead starter motor? I have tried swapping relays, reseating connections and giving the starter a good whack. No faults showing and the pedal dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heardy Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Just as a follow up to this. A new starter motor from @ZMANALEX solved the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
