Strange.
A week of "no crank" followed by a good start after I cleaned all of the wiring from the jumper block (believing the starter soledoid wire connection at the block was the issue) I went out to start yesterday morning after clearing off 10 fresh inches of snow (car is under a cover). Battery was a bit weak and she tried to crank, then nothing. Thinking the battery was the issue, I left it on a charger for 3-4 hours and upon my return, no crank. Lights work, but no crank at all.
Is there something in the car's charging and starting system that prevents cranking if the battery is not 100%?
Want to diagnose everything before I even contemplate a starter removal.
I will try again this morning and then if nothing, disconnect the battery for an hour and try again. The security system is off (key off position).
Thanks.
