So what could cause this?
I noticed it happens only when it's really cold. Turn the key and nothing happens. Wait a few seconds or try a few times it starts up no problem? Battery reads full power. Wiring and earthing is probably as good as it can get. Do you think it could be my starter motor? This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Jan 14, 2013 - 9:59 AM |

Mine used to have this problem, it sounds to me like you've got a loose/corroded connection between the clamps and the terminals or the clamps and the cables.
A weak battery shouldnt cause this issue You can use any metal tool to scrape the metal that makes contact in these connections, you want to expose virgin metal from under the surface. Then retighten the connections. This post has been edited by Special_Edy: Jan 15, 2013 - 12:58 AM |
