Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / July 2009Ignition Problems
I'm having trouble with the ignition of my Holden Rodeo Twin Cab Ute. I turn the key & it just clicks once, then nothing. Do that maybe 6 or 7 times & it may crank slowly for a second, then nothing. Do the click routine a few more times, then without any identifiable change, on the next atempt the engine will crank & start as if nothing is wrong. With the engine running, the Park Brake & 'check engine" warning lights are on. The battery is fully charged & does not appear to be at fault. Can anyone speculate on possible issues with this? > I'm having trouble with the ignition of my Holden Rodeo Twin Cab Ute. > I turn the key & it just clicks once, then nothing.

The parking brake light and the check engine light might be separate issues, or did it all crop up at once?  SignatureDon't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats. - Howard Aiken >I'm having trouble with the ignition of my Holden Rodeo Twin Cab Ute. >I turn the key & it just clicks once, then nothing.

Sounds like a bad spot on the starter armateur. > I'm having trouble with the ignition of my Holden Rodeo Twin Cab Ute. > I turn the key & it just clicks once, then nothing.

Cables: Heavy cable from the battery to the starter relay ("starter solenoid") and relay to starter motor...check lack of corrosion, tight, clean connections. 2. Starter Relay (or solenoid): Burned contacts. Usually not repairable, so replace. 3. Other problems: If they are truely related, then suspect a ground problem (battery to frame/engine) or ignition (starter) switch, through which ALL circuits in the vehicle pass. Doesn't sound like they are actually related, but who knows. |
