Hello Norm, hey I found a 69 Camaro ,somewhere in Georgia just rusting away, the owner passed , and there is allot of term oil on his property , I hope by about spring break they have it sorted out , I told them , I would be more than happy to drive down there to buy the car , ,one of them have a bunch of stuff in storage here in Oklahoma , I said I would load it in my car hal
ler ,and bring it up there , if they give me a chance to get the car , fingers crossed p.s. if its close to your woods , get one of them pork butts ready lol J K but it would be great to get another headache, I mean Camaro , give me something to fix up for my grand daughter , keep me going , and out of trouble

69 Camero, I like it! I'm about in the exact center of Georgia just notify me a day ahead so I can smoke that BUTT, come on down food and drinks on me!! Tiki Bar is still open>>>>>>>>
Been working on my 04 4runner and it's whippin' my butt, no start, no crank, headlights don't work. Battery is good cleaned contacts + and -! Thought it was a relay and ordered it , took 5 days to get here and that wasn't the problem. These computerized cars are LOCO! Guess I'll have to let the $100 an hour guys do it?

What's the Market doing, trying to sucker us back in again?
I haven't been on line much yesterday and today, still working on my 4Runner in the garage. No luck today I found out it isn't the starter and the fuses and relays. More of the same tomorrow.

You might check where the battery (-) cable connects to the chassis ground; if the cable has gone bad or the ground is corroded it could break the circuit. Good battery and no indication of elec. power anywhere should be a basic circuit problem.

Grounds to the Battery are good planning on checking that and Low Voltage and High Voltage to the starter this morning, thanks for the link I'll check it out. Been to that site lots of good info there.

Ignition switch? No start, no crank...maybe no proper crank signal. Just a thought

Going to check that this morning, first I'm putting a good charge on the battery then I will load test it. A friend loaned me the tester! I hope it's the battery but it held the last charge I put on it for3 days, but he says it still can be bad. Thanks

 

[nnuut]

The battery was bad failed load test, live and learn. Now I have to put the starter back in.

At least it's an easy fix...provided no other issues. I've learned over the years to always start with the simplest, cheapest scenarios that any particular symptom points to.

I'm going to buy one of those Load testers today!

Buy AMERICAN. :smile:
I have a Jeep Commander that's almost that old (2006) and it drives like new.

Most cars, esp Japanese ones are tough to work on...too cramped...need special tools...but I tip my hat to you for your tenacity.
You might want to consult the Cubans...they're still fixing up and driving our old 1950's cars.

Operation was a success, learned a little today. Funny thing I have been fixing my own cars since I was a teenager, rebuilt engines done most everything but didn't realize a battery that shows over 12 volts on a multi-meter can still be bad! See I don't know everything.:suspicious: I'll would love to have that 1955 Chevy!!

Glad that all worked out for you nnuut. I guess watching the voltage as you turn the ignition on might have helped? Not criticizing, just thinking for my future. Something else to try is jumping it off a running vehicle even though the battery voltage seems OK.

I had a similar problem with a 96 Grand Cherokee my wife owned and never figured it out until after we sold it. Of course neither did the finest minds at Chrysler/Jeep dealers in a couple of states. All under warrantee fortunately.

That was really a shame as it was a nice vehicle and we enjoyed travelling in it for the first couple years. After that we were afraid to take it on a trip as we were used to waving bye to it leaving on a transporter.

Much of what I learned in trade school back in the 70s applies today. Stuff about engine/system controls didn’t exist. (it ain’t a system it’s an automobile, engine controls means ignition system/timing/vacuum and mechanical advance) So like we say we live and learn. The days of “if she’ll crank she’ll start” are over.

Done with the hijack.

Yea all of that would have worked, even hooking up my battery charger at the 60 Amp START setting would have done it. I ordered a tester, it's in the mail! That won't happen again.

See what happens, I stay safe in the "G" for a long time then I get brave and go in for 50% and the Market goes >>>>>>>>>>>>>
