Ive nosed online and no one seems to have a definitive answer for this.

2010 XS fine until this morning when it wouldnt start. Battery seemed find but it was clicking and not even wanting to try to turn over.

No dash lights/warnings part from a exclamation mark with a line around it

Garage came, jumped it, thought it was battery but it wasnt, its back and been starting ok since but Im concerned.


Any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Fitting the extra earth strap seems to cure a lot of electric type problems about £15 from eBay and about 20 minutes to put it on.

Earth strap is an obvious one to do
Then have your battery and alternator professionally tested No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

forgive me for sounding daft, does that attach the battery positive, as theres already something extra on there, I wasnt sure what it was?

No! Many fireworks that way. Negative earth.

Click but no cranking could indicate a problem with the starter motor or solenoid.

haha ok ,whats that then? ill have to take a photo


Husband said he thought Solenoid, lets hope it doesnt do it again and its one of those bizzarre landy things.

I had this same problem, it would come and go and when it wouldn't start I use to give the starter motor a tap, which would get it to start. Got my auto electrician mate who got a Service kit for the starter motor and that sorted it. I think it's the brushes that stick from the carbon build up. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

thanks ill show them that on thursday, its going in again still under warranty

I put a new battery on, its starting better as it it doesnt have periods of not starting at all but its struggling a bit .

so cheesed off, every time it goes in under warranty it doesnt do it, so they wont change the starter or use the repair kit, fed up already.
