pwrtrp23 New Member 18 Member For: 9y 6m 19d Posted 16/12/15 09:52 AM Share Posted 16/12/15 09:52 AM so I have a boss 260 in a ba wagon. it would start and the relay was just clicking. I tried jump starting it. no good. so I put a screw driver across the starter motor and it just turned over and didn't start. now it is showing up code on the icc. any ideas?

Except his would start if he dropped the gearbox like 10mm by loosening the crossmember. Which was uber weird...that's not you is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrtrp23 New Member 18 Member For: 9y 6m 19d Posted 16/12/15 11:48 PM Author Share Posted 16/12/15 11:48 PM yeah that was me. was a bad earth. now this code sh*t is happening and I can't figure it out. everything was fine before I put a screw driver over the starter. the only issue was every now and again it wouldn't start it would just click. so I would push start and and wouldn't have a drama for a week or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was an auto, weird thing was after a jump start you could turn it off straight away, then like magic it would start. No way its had a chance to charge so cant be battery right? Well it was, collapsed cell apparently. Changed it and nothing else, never had a problem again.My FG did heaps of weird sh*t when the battery was closed to dead, asking for icc codes, transmission not in park bullsh*t ect..the electronics in these cars are sensitive to battery voltage, seems to reach a point where they just loose their mind so to speak. If you have a known good battery to test with id be ruling it out first cause you can do your head in over something simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried putting my icc bem and ignition from my other wagon in it. it cranked over but wouldn't start. I dunno whether that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like o said its possible for them to fail in such a way they just randomly dont work, it may have failed completely now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Smart Lock Hand flashing on the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have swapped the ign and bem you may need a pats relearn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
