MrMCC Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hello everyone, I am having a problem which I have seen described elsewhere but I have not seen any answers. My Fiesta (1.2 53 plate Black model) is having trouble starting, when I turn the ignition I either get nothing or I get three or four clicks then the doors sound like they are unlocking and my petrol gage line goes up and down. A friend looked at the lights while I tried to start and they stayed bright and did not dim, all other electrics like radio etc stay on.

Luke4efc Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Have you have a multimeter over the battery to make sure it is definitely charged enough? Always the first place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMCC Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 no but I have hooked it up to a battery charger and it's showing as fully charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Lol are you still having this problem near enough a year later? That doesn't put a load on it though. When did you last change the battery? Chances are you're due a new one. A multimeter is the best way of checking the voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMCC Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I got hold of a multi meter and it showed I did need a new battery and it's perfect starting every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
