EF HATCH D15B1

so i relocated my battery to the trunk, went to start the car and __________... tested volts going to battery had nothing checked my ground and power had 12.83v moved battery back to under hood hooked back up and still nothing. tesed power again 12.83v at starter now.. turn kep nothing... beat the livving hell outts the starter and not i get a clicking as if the starter is bad...

as im typing this drinkin a margarita and the battery is on charger lol se if i can get the 14v outta it and retry.

has anyone had this problem and any easy fixes before i go out and buy a starter?

 

Have you tried a bypass jump yet? 94

 

yeah with a power prob just clicked as if the battery was dead


battery is at 14.6v now and still just clicking

gonna get the starter tested and go from there only ting it can be

or so im hoping

 

If all you get is a "click" then it is either the starter motor or starter solenoid. 94

 

ended up being dead cell in battery and no srface charge

 

Your batt. had a dead cell and it still had 14.6V on it???? 94

 

it takes amperages to crank ur motor....batt relocation long cable just killed it....how thick is ur cable? i started with 2Awg to and fro and i got low charging .....now i'm on 0Awg n it's constant charging

 

When relocating any pwr suply from it original location make sure to run diff gage of wire "thickr" the ddistance produces a leak of pwr, better juice conductor.»»»»«««¤»»

 

Keep the battery in the engine bay, less chance of fire and problems like not being able to start your ride. Sending 400 Amps through any gauge cable is going to get it mildly hot at those distances, just something to think about.

 

my alternator is rated at 95amps bro n i think the highest output a stock HONDA got are only 105amps....400amp?

 

It's not what the alt. puts out, it is what the draw is, on a cold day with an older starter/starter solenoid you will draw more then 105A, maybe not 400A but 150A and more is normal.
