VU Ute

[Toranalx]

Having problems with starting. Sometimes it fires up first go, next time all dash lights on and all you hear are clicks, keep trying to start it and eventually fires up. Mechanic says loose connection to starter motor. jiggle it a bit and seems to work. Was OK for about 4 months now happening frequently. Any ideas on how to fi???????

Mine has same problem let me kno if u find out wat is mine will start fine than nxt time be like its dead than fine lol does it all the time

Will post fix if and when someone figures it out. Thinking it could be battery, not enough power getting through. Seems if I leave key on for a while it will fire up after that. Very strange

If its a V8 ute it will be the starter motor.

had the same problem. changed the battery & that lasted about a month befor it did it again.

It sounds like there is a high resistance in your starter motor or the cable which is drawing to much voltage from your battery.

if it sounds like if it not getting any fuel when u try to start it its the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay i just went though the same thing r couple months back in my vu
