R33 issues

[Jake Lawson]

Hey Everyone first time posting here. 

So I’m having some dramas with my R33, I went to start it the other day and it won’t turn over just clicked once. Every time I turned the key it’d just click once and not start. So I thought it could either be the starter solenoid, starter motor, battery or bad earth. So I cleaned up the earth in the boot and still nothing, ended up replacing the starter motor and it was fine for a few days then bam same thing again? So I haven’t load tested the battery yet to see if it dropped a cell or it’s just buggered. If it’s not the battery I don’t have a clue as to what it could be.

thanks everyone. 

Jake.

Better than even odds it's the battery. Been cold lately?

So you think it could be the battery? And no not really mate hey, I went to start it in the middle of the day and it wouldn’t start unless I roll started it. It won’t even just start.

After checking connections I would have tested the battery before replacing anything. If you don't have a multi-meter take it to a battery shop and they will test it for nothing (and sell you a new one if you need it).

It was reading fine voltage wise, but I know they can drop a cell easily and cause issues. But I’m going to take it in for them to load test it to see if that is the drama. 

Thanks mate

It’s not the battery

So now you look for voltage drops across switches, etc.
