landrover598 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Untill last week i though i had finally got rid of a long term electrical gremlin when i last cured it over 6 months ago, but it's returned Sometimes , when i turn the ingition key to start, i get a single click from the start solenoid and then the electrical system goes dead, return the key to off, turn again and it starts fine. It's only a random problem and thought i had cured it, obvoiusly not Any ideas where else to look for the cure ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I had this sympton on my truck once. It turned out to be a dodgy connection, in my case on the battery negative post. It could handle the current of the solenoid going in, but when it tried to crank the engine it gave up. I'd make sure that all connections between the battery, starter motor and chassis are clean and free of corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 It's had new battery-chassis and starter-chassis earth wires, and cleaned back the fixing points, this cured the problem for a few months. Prior to that, replacing the electrical shut off switch cured it for a few months too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
