ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Take a DVOM to the battery to double check. What voltage were you getting? or did you take it to a parts store to check. When it cranked up did you leave it running since you had it sitting for a while to charge the battery?

        So basically they put a load test on it and said it was ok huh? Hmm any dimming of the headlights or anything when your running? DVOM is basically just a volt-ohm meter. Normally a volt meter would just suffice as long as it reads DC current. It wouldnt start back up when you turned it off?

            Hey
            Same deal on mine. It can be jumped, but will just click when tried on its own. If you put on the brakes it will shutoff the radio momentarily and dim the lights. I thought it was the starter (havent replaced it yet) but could be electrical. I did replace both neg and pos cables, im gonna check the fuse box again, fuses looked good, but maybe its the wiring. Anyone HELP!

                If you know you have good batt voltage and when you start starter decides not to work....thats your starter. You can try the screwdriver by jumping the two leads that will let you know it is the starter. If you can tap it and it starts it is the starter. The solenoid inside is no good or the points where it makes contact is wore out. Which can cause no start or take long as hell to start or in most cases just a click.
