armchair diagnostic help needed - click of death
Posted: Sat May 20, 2023 5:49 pm
Hello everyone,
Cars been running well .. I finally set the float levels and had a good run out today.
Parked the car up and thought I'd try a hot restart now i'd adjusted the float levels… and the car wouldn't start. I could hear the fuel pump.. and there appears to be power but turning the ignition I just get a click. If I try starting with the starter solenoid button (not turning the key) nothing happens at all.. not even a click. Car was going really well up until this point… maybe the indicator flasher seemed slower than normal (but that could be me overthinking.) I'll go back to it tomorrow with some jump leads and have a look/ poke/ hit the starter with a hammer (the limit of my talent) but I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas or a series of things I should check.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
