Wont turn over
« on: 26 February 2012, 21:06 »
if my agu wont turn over could it be anything else than the battery or starter motor? It worked fine before no codes no nothing just would turn over.

Starter i suspect - do the dash lights dim when you turn the key?

Yeah it does dim, i though it would be the starter motor. I'v been having problems with it for some time now and I'v hit it with a hammer to many times now. so I think il be rebuilding it then. cheers lads

Sounds like the starter has died.
