Re: Click and Nuthin' (Starting Problem)

Hi All,
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter. Will clean the posts thoroughly as that's the easiest first step to verify. Then will focus on Jim's suggestion of focusing on the starter next if the issue persists.

Thanks to John Smith, Jim Auxier, and "KrMerkley" for the much appreciated advice.

Have you tried jumping the starter to see if you are getting voltage at the starter from the batt post on the starter to the solenoid post on the starter. I had a a 70 plym that the starter fried and would do nothing but click. another problem could be starter relay or loose connection at the starter soleniod post or a loose post there

Did you clean the posts? Also, those bolt on battery cable ends are junk. My 63 does that a lot, from not starting it enough I guess. I disconnect cables after running it. By the way, I have those bolt on battery cable ends, that's how I know they're junk. Have to take them apart and clean them quite a bit.

Hi All,
Turned the key on my 300L convertible today, the idiot lights came on for a second as they're supposed to do, heard a click by the engine bay and then nothing. There was no power to the car. Got out and jiggled the negative ground (disconnected a reconnected it). Checked that the lights came back on when I opened the driver's door. Turned the key and the same thing. Heard a single click and no electric.

This started to happen the last time I drove the car and is now completely preventing me from starting the car today.

What's the issue my more knowledgeable Mopar Fanatics? Bad battery terminal? Bad starter? Other?

Thanks,
