Not Turning Over

Post by owlets »

Went to take the Westy for a run today, 1st time since the end of Sept. It usually takes a while after its been left standing but today I turned it over 4 times with no success, went to try for a 5th and it won't turn over, all I can here is a relay clicking. Got power as the wipers, lights, etc work, but it just won't turn over. Has the starter seized or is it just that there is enough juice for the ancilleries and not enough to turn it over?

that clicking you can hear is the starter engageing but it sounds that there isnt enough power to turn the engine over.charge your battery on charge or take one out of the car start the engine take the battery off put the van one back on while the engine is running and drive round for 15 min and you should have a charged battery.
