I still can’t make sense of this start problem.
12.8 volts on battery after sitting for two hours. Zero parasitic amp draw. All right and new connections. 13.6 volts while running.
But 25% of the time, it simply won’t start. The relays all click. But nothing happens. Jolting or knocking on the starter does nothing. Then just as of this morning and today after driving no-stop for an hour, it slow-cranks like a bad battery.
Last night I checked everything, and tested the start 20 times in two hours with no problem at all. This was after sitting several times during the day, waiting for it to decide to start in store parking lots and such. But since the problem never happens when I want it to, I can’t track down issues or replicate.
I’m on the road for overnight. I could get a new battery, but it would not be the type I would want if I had the choice right now. What would you do?
