lolitskasey Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Alright so i was cleaning my battier terminals yesterday. when i put everything back and tried to start my car it wouldn't turn over it just made a ticking noise. Dose that mean my starter is gone or what? Quote
Guest KyleCannon Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Battery might be dead or something isn't connected... try getting a DMM on your battery and see what it reads out.... when it's sitting there and when you try to turn it over. Quote
Neel Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 If you didnt just finish cleaning your battery terminals I would suspect something was wrong with the car... but go with the simplest possibilities first. Check voltage at terminals during cranking, check to see if you pulled any wires while cleaning the terminals, make sure the terminals fit snug.. Quote Too Much Stuff to list .
E a r t h Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 Alright so i was cleaning my battier terminals yesterday. when i put everything back and tried to start my car it wouldn't turn over it just made a ticking noise. Dose that mean my starter is gone or what? that's usually caused by a weak battery especially since you just performed an action in that area Quote
lolitskasey Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Posted June 27, 2009 Alright so it started yesterday just fine. And now it wont start today i haven't got a DMM out yet but i will tomorrow i think i just need to buy a new battery cause the one i got is old as hell. Quote
lolitskasey Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 Ok so i put a DMM on my battery and it was floating at 12.9-13.0. And all the connections are on tight. and at first it was making a ticking noise now its not doing anything. Quote
