Sigh.
I got back in the car after lunch yesterday, turned the ignition key, and heard a single click. My first thought was the battery but a jump left me with a single click. Must be the starter then... Nope. Three starters later I'm still getting a single click. Battery voltage is 12.53 and drops to 11.5 when I try to start the car. If I'm hearing the solenoid from the starter and can feel the click, is the issue down to the 4 gauge wire? I've read: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...&hl=starter but I'm still scratching my head. |

I'm not even turning the engine over at this point; so no spark!
It is an automatic, please tell me more about this safety switch as I know nothing about it. This post has been edited by n47pt: Aug 26, 2012 - 5:45 PM |
