StarterMotor Clicking
Hi,
I was hoping to turn over my zetec engine for the 1st time today. I am usnig a new lrs 707 starter motor.
At the momment when I turen the key it just clicks at me..
I have tried rocking the car ingear and tapping the motor with a hammer. I have also attached a battery booster.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Cheers
Frank

Have you checked you have got a good earth? Try clipping a jump lead from the battery negative to the starter motor housing (but watch out for the
live bit!!!)
Wonderous is our great blue ship that sails around the mighty sun, and joy to everyone that rides along!

Are you sure the battery's fully charged? Should read 13-14V on the multimeter.
HTH.

Sounds like low battery or bad solenoid.

Put a spanner on the front crank pulley bolt and turn the engine by hand to make sure the flywheel is clearing the starter.
I had one that wouldnt clear and jut jammed it up solid.

As said flat battery.
If you have tried a battery booster and still no joy you may well have a dead battery ie cell or cells down,no matter how much charging you give it
its a dead un.
My tip,do not leave batteries on concrete floors for any length of time.
