not battery or alternator daw, starter problem kaya?

I agree na relay lang yan.

My guess is battery terminal maluwag lang or madumi na ung contacts.. try mo linisin ng liha hanggang lumabas ung metal part or palit ka ng mas masikip ng clamp sa battery

Thanks for the reply guys. Napakahelpful! So first siguro is i get my starter checked, carbon replaced and solenoid cleaned. Then i go for a relay din siguro.

Baka kay jemson sa banawe ko sya dalhin over the weekend.

dont waste your time. relay lang yan...as madali gawin ang relay...pag di umubra relay, tsaka ka na magpa-overhaul ng starter.

i certainly hope it's just the relay.
but if it isn't, then you still have the starter brushes and the solenoid to reckon with.
btw, solenoids are replaced. "cleaning" them (whatever that means, because solenoids are sealed units) just isn't cost-effective.

i had a problem just like yours in my lancer 2003. it was the solenoid.

New development guys! I found out that to get the car crank from click, i have to turn the key a little harder para sumagad pa ng konti, only then will it crank... although with a slight delay (around 2 secs).

It happened when i closed the engine para magpa gas sa petron. Then hindi na sha nagstart nanaman. Until i tried turning it harder.

Hmmm... whats ur take on this guys?

lagyan mo ng grounding kit maka tulong din yan..
or palagyan mo ng isa pang relay parang direct na sa battery supply ng starter ..
check mo ung ground ng battery mo...

seems to me, one day your little trick won't work as the switch's electrical contacts finally got worn down good..
better have it fixed while you can still start it..

True. Brought it to a mechanic para macheck. Solenoid and carbon (something) daw ung cause. He suggested to have them replaced. I guess nasa starter itself ung problema since due to the starter contact, tama ba?

Correct me if im wrong pero kung papalagay ako ng relay it makes the starter hitting the contact point irrelevant, ganun ba yun?
