Defcon5 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Sounds like the starter motor to me - was it a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarynn Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Sounds like the starter motor to me - was it a new one?Yeah quite a few people said that but I bought a brand new one, tested and works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Did you fit it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarynn Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Did you fit it yourself?no, was at friends garage he tested the old and the new.. direct to battery and they power just fine.. rules out the starters. Plus a brand new one straight off the shelf... im kinda stuck with what it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 The simplest of things.However, if a garage fitted all the other things why on earth didnt they plug it into the diagnostic computer in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecvincent123 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Was just about to say sounds like an grounding problem, had this before. Glad you found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
