Lil Raz 93 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey guys. My fiesta ha the battery die the other day. Charged it off the car and refitted it. Started perfect first time. Went out in it parked up etc. came back to it later and all I get when I go to crank it is a loud click. battery seems to be perfect and car starts when bumped. Can someone please shine some lift on this please? Thanks guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Raz 93 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 The power doesn't dip when attempting to start like it did when it was almost dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Sounds like a loose connection, have you tried tapping the starter motor with a hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Also make sure the battery connections are tightened up correctly. One member not too long ago had a similar problem and it was due to a loose connection after replacing his battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Raz 93 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've checked the battery connections n will try tapping the motor tomorrow when I'm in the pit. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
