any ideas anyone

basically unlock the car as usual with keyfob turn on ignition all lights light up as usual and nothing , hear fuel pump buzz but no startermotor .

this happened first when i was out somewhere , stranded for about 20 mins scratching my head until i wiggled the earth wire and away she went( was slight movment in connector on battery earth)

anyway tightened this up and was fine

.

next day same again .



next time car turned over very slowly like a flat battery , put battery charger on battery after a short while was showing battery full, still non starter and not turning over or clicking atall , tried another known good battery and same again not turning over.

then checked all the earths on chassis/engine cleaned them up.

car then starts, turn it off , starts again, i go to bed happy thinking its all sorted out.

out to it today same again like its a flat battery but turning over slowly , then nothing atall from both batterys , and still nothing tonight

bloody cars

have you scraped out the earth terminal on the battery lead , i had one once that had scaled up looked fine but had a crap connection .

Had very simular on a Chrysler today, checked all wiring all ok, then bridged the pos feed to the starter to elimimate the solenoid and still nothing :x , got new starter worked fine, something inside the starter must have gone.

Try bridgeing the starter relay TK, it may be a solenoid energiser wiring fault.

starter motor on a pulsar is a real git to get to i think, in fact everything is on these :x
