Tom17 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Right today went out to pub Decided to go out in mates car for next part of the night So turned my battery isolator to open state In the process I moved my battery up god knows how or why Gt back re connected the battery then nothing Not even trying to turn over just the quietest click and I mean silent almost I not sure if the metal lid shorted the battery out but two cars a fiesta and a vectra couldn't jump start it so I had to get loads of people to push and bumped it got it home turned it off and then still nothing but an almost silent click? What does this sound like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sounds like a bad connection to me. If the lid had shorted the battery you'd have known about it pretty quick (sparks, heat, smoke, flame etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy andy. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Is the battery isolator working correctly, terminal for the contacts can corrode. So you get a bit of power but not all the amps. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
