As it's so quiet on here I thought I'd ask a question!!
I occasionally have a problem starting the car. When pressing the starter button you can hear the solenoid click but it doesn't crank.
I have noticed the following:
When it occurs the voltage drops from 12v to 8-9v for the duration the button is pressed then returns to 12v.
Happens more often when it's hot, very rarely when cold.
If I press the button repeatedly it will usually start as normal after 5-10 presses.
The only ideas I have is something in the ECU to stop the starter cranking, possibly due to low voltage, or the starter not fully engaging therefore not allowing it to crank.
Has anyone else had this issue?
