zukiru Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 thought you were selling right now not buying... a starter CAN click from a really bad battery which would also make the car die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like something electrical, like a bad battery or a bad alternater, or maybe both. At the least, get the battery checked out. Of course, if it is good(no bad cells) have it charged and then see have the alternater checked. You can check the alternater with a multimeter if you have one. You just basically want to see voltage output higher than 12.8, but lower than 15v. Higher than that and you risk frying electronics in the car, not to mention cooking(overcharging) the battery which will result in a decently loud BOOM! Any lower than 12.8v, and the likelyhood that the battery will be able to charge while the car is running(with accessories on) is low. I sure hope that helps a little.

4WDFrenzy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm certainly glad that it was something so simple. Too bad for this car though, may it rest in peace, or pieces, or......well.....you know what I mean. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
