Bubbley11 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 So I had this problem not too long ago where I get into the rig and try to crank it over. The relay and the starter click, but not enough to actually crank. It just makes a constant clicking noise as I try to start the rig. I put a new starter in and same problem, I'm at a loss currently.

ABCAB Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I had similar problem on my 2,7TD. Replaced starter and within a week it was doing it again. Had another spare starter that did it as well. Auto electrician said the problem is that our cabling is getting old and can't carry the current needed anymore. He installed a relay at the starter that does the switching instead of it happening at your key. Problem solved and all three the starters work perfect after that.

k9sar Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 My guess would be bad contact between the battery posts and battery cable(s) but let's hope the OP chimes in with what he found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihaijust Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 the big positive terminal cable was an issue for me as well, seems it has a lead connector for the battery side that got corroded (didn't know lead corrodes!). I found that after replacing the starter in an unnatural position (I felt like working in a Circus and had to crawl through a small circle). My advice: don't replace the starter before checking it's connections. It can save you a lot of hassle and time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
