Afternoon Everybody,

Could anyone please offer advice on a problem with my starter motor? I fitted a new starter motor to my 2.0l Pinto and have done less than 1000 milessince I fitted it.. Last Monday the car fired up OK. Yesterday however when I came to start it up all I got was a rapid "clicking " noise. I charged up the battery, tried again, but got the same result.
Any advice most welcolm.

Regards

David

Dead battery, have you tried jump leads?

Cheers

Rich

Bad earth, cauing a voltage drop.
Normally the earth strap, either loose or corrosion.

Ive had the same problem for a while.
Battery and earth is fine, starter motor is fine.
I put a jumper from the starter ign wire to the battery and it seems to work ok.
Note to self... stop being lazy and run a new wire to ignition.
