Jessie The Jeep Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Could be a poor earth somewhere or it could be a faulty starter switch if the starter isn't doing anything when you press it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Could well be once I started it I tried 3 more times and it started each time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67burwood Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It does sound like a bad connection or faulty starter switch, it only needs a loose connection on the starter cable to be an intermittent fault, it’s annoying but it’s a process of elimination, disconnect the battery and one by one undo each cable connection, clean and reassemble as you go, if the fault reoccurs put a test light on the battery side of the starter switch to check power to the switch, if there’s power put the test light on the starter side and get some one to press the starter switch ( obviously mind fingers and hands in case it engages) if you have power the switch is ok and the fault is most likely the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks bud, once I can rule the battery out I'll begin so ignition, starter switch, coil, starter motor, alternator, checking all connectors and earth's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67burwood Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 If the engine isn’t turning over you need to check battery, battery connectors, earth cable, starter switch connectors, starter switch ,, starter cable and starter motor. ignition switch and coil would come under spark related problems. Alternator and alternator wiring would be charging problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67burwood Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Was the battery actually flat or have you just charged to make sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think it was low, being started but not run enough to top it up, so now fully charged, I'm guessing it's a loose connection somewhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
