Just as the title says, my car developed a new fault.
The solenoid kicks in every single time I attempt to start the car (you can hear it) but the starter won't turn . I need to try several time before the car starts.
Since the solenoid is engaged, it can't be an alarm issue (fuel pump is engaged as well every time)?
But if the motor won't turn can it only be the main current supply or earth?
Once the car runs, no electrical fault can be reported.
Or is it just a faulty starter motor?
Thanks
