DamanC Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Went to start my supe and got a kinda ticking noise (4 or 5 fast ticks) from drivers side, and now the car has no power. No horn, no lights, no start Battery is fine. Ideas? Fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Could be a fuse. How do you know battery is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Slapped a light on it Update, Ive been checking the fuses under the hood (nr battery) They all seem fine. Pulled one out, popped it in and power came back went to start, got one tick and all power lost again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supragold Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Battery is fooked mate. It may have enough to turn a light on but the starter motor uses soooo much power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Cheers for the pointers guys funny one this. Faffed about with the fuse's, wiggled the battery terminals. Power came back, car started went out, came back couple of hours later and it wouldnt start, power died Wiggled the negative battery terminal, power returned car started. Negative terminal problem? All fuse's fine. battery was replaced about 4 months ago. If it is the negative terminal then why does it not play up when im driving?

If it is the negative terminal then why does it not play up when im driving? coz its the alterantor that powers everything when the engine running, you dont even need a battery to drive. just make sure you got a cood connection on both the neg and pos mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
