70NPORT
Old Man with a Hat
2ND time in three years on the back of a tow truck.
Today we didn't make it back under our own power. Its the ignition system, but what part of it I still can't determine. One minute its fine, the next it will not start for anything...just like that, no warning.....apparently the starter is not seeing full voltage (to fully engage). It is an absolutely random thing. Strangely, when a no start event occurs, I notice it is always accompanied by a slight "click" sound which seems to originate somewhere within the dashboard...which does not occur otherwise. The battery, batt cables, starter, starter relay, NSS....the ignition switch, and key cylinder in the steering column have all been confirmed working properly and/or replaced. Sooo what else is left ? I do not believe this is voltage drop or resistance issue as this happens randomly and without warning, cold or hot no rhyme or reason that I can discover thus far.
