Rich Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 does anything else come on, like interior lights, radio etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 is the starter motor doing anything at all, i.e. clicking? if so then it sounds like soleniod. if it is that then for a short term fix to get u started try giving it a knock with a hammer this sometimes moves the contacts if they are stuck, but as i said thats really only a short term fix cos in my experience they always go again. on the other hand if u have nothing happening at all no dash lights or anything then like escy said check the earths etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
