Battery Relocation Help Please

[icer]

ok now everythgin seems to work fine bar the car clicking. all the lights etc work no noises etc. I read on another thread that my negative cable was to long so I moved it. but the starter motor still does a clicking noise and doesnt turn over.

Anyone near aspendale who wants to be shouted some bears and come have a look?

I have connected the nizpro positive teminal to the old positive terminal, then ran it ontop of the radiator where the water overflow pipe runs, and then the middle positive lead is now connecting to the starter motor where there is another positive cable (im guessing the standard power to the old positive battery cable). Pic below (the white one is the nizpro one):

(both cables on starter).

f*cking FAIL!

Your supposed to REMOVE THE OLD POWER LEAD that goes from the STart motor UNDER the engine to the fuse box / OLD BATTERY location.

AND THEN your supposed to run the NEW nizpro positive FROM the fuse box, UNDER the engine, to the starter motor, TO the new battery location.

Clearly its eveident in your picture that you failed. This is ONE reason why I said LET ME FIT THAT.

Remove the nizpro battery Power cable, and Fit the original battery back, Put the original power lead onto the starter motor removing the nizpro stuff.

Let me do it

I learn little when I pay people to do things....tried it myself and failed obviosuly lol.

it is all back to standard airbox is out and normal battery and terminals fitted.

car still wont start. checked fuses with multi meter and all seem good

im sure if you asked danny nicely he might show you some things.. maybe let you watch...

Check the position of the Power lead on the starter motor.. The starter motor has like a keyway.. If its not properly aligned, the terminal will not sit flush up against the starter motor, and when you attempt to tighten it up, you will break the lug off the starter motor... = NEW STARTER MOTOR (my mate did it)

Second of all, There will be a earth point roughly where the ORIGINAL under battery pipe bolted to the engine bay (behind/below the drivers headlight). My guess is 1) you removed it, or 2) you ripped it off when changing the AVO under battery pipe..

so out of all this ill prob need a new bloody starter. all ground cables are were they should be. I can see the under battery one fine.

how can I test a starter to see if its gone?
