Creeman Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I just bought it a week ago and it started most of the time but once in a while it wouldnt start or I should say the engine doesnt turn over. The starter seems to be OK because when I try to start it theres no starter click or any noise at all. When I did get it started it would start as long as it was still warm. The battery is new and I believe the starter is good and I suspect the ignition switch or there is a switch under the steering column called "active starter cut-off" switch. Anyone have any ideas?

Timmythewop89 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I could be wrong, but it does sound to me like the battery is junk. doing landscaping, around fall time, i run into the problem of the machines battery not having enough juice to start it. As i keep trying, the battery actually comes back to life without jumping it. i would try getting a larger battery, before getting into the electronics of ur car.

Creeman Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 The battery has a full charge and Ive even tryed jumping it with no results. The ignition looks as though someone stole the car and any key will work thats why I suspect the ignition switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeman Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 alternator? maybe Alternator is OK. Does anyone know how to bypass the ignition switch to the starter, and if it starts I would think the problem is in the ignition switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved, it was the "active starter cut-off" switch, I bypassed that and it starts every time now. One of those wiered things, thought I'd post it in case anyone else might have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
