after wiring up everything in the car...ive got power to everything. except when i turn the key all i get from the starter is it trying to engage and a click. Do i have a bad starter or weak battery? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

a multimeter is your friend here.....


measure ON posts....
measure ON clamps
meaure at starter....


any big difference, you have a fitment issue or corrosion problems.

really amazing were four volts will go....I had a charged battery and only managed to pull 8 volts out of it....no sparky no starter....got the multimeter out....found out there was a issue between battery posts and the clamps....took em off, cleaned them up and reinstalled.....12V (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
