Help !! cannot start
« on: August 05, 2016 - 03:07:49 PM »
 I was getting a click sound, so I replaced the starter, well that was not it. I turn the keep and hear a click, but that's it.
I need your help to get me back on the road

Click is usually the starter relay on the inner fender which is normal...
I'd bet my $ on a bad battery cable (look for green at the ends) or poor connection assuming the battery is good & charged.

it was the relay switch - but now my starter grinds, so I need to remove, and reinstall - more to follow
