Icon2 Wont turn over...........

So I relocated my battery to the back of my ef. Now when I try to start I'm just get an extremely fast clicking sound. Could it be a ground issue or something ells I am not thinking of. Car started fine before the relocation and I rechecked my wiring severl times.

Grounding issue. Find a better ground point, check starter as well.

Also wondering if it could be lack of cranking amps on the battery. Would that passable have the same result.

make sure you check your battery terminal connections. some cars wont start because the battery cant get enough amps through a bad connection to start the car.

im gonna say battery cables are too long causing higher resistance therefore less voltage to start car

There could be soo many things wrong... answer these questions for us please. especially where the grounds connected and what gauge cables you are using. Make sure all connections are tight, on starter and battery.

When I relocated the battery in my ef to the back I was able to still start my b18 with the same old battery I had to crank the single cam... You could have a low battery charge though. Check it quick with a multimeter..
