Hi all, I’d love some help, my van sometimes won’t crank at all, dash lights come on, glow plugs go off (although recently taking twice as long) then I turn the key and nothing. Silence.
It seems to reset the problem if I put it on trickle charge for 30 minutes or some jump leads, but that might just be incidental.
I have a battery protect from victron on there but that’s not activated when the problem happens (first thing I check)
The roadside help come out and of course it starts up right in front of him.
We’ve checked the engine fuses they’re all fine.
There was some dirty water on some wire connection block attached to the outside of the engine fuse box I noticed from a leaky drain but those wires don’t go in.
I’ve had advice to change the battery but it did it again when the battery was 30minutes into its new home.
What would symptoms like this indicate ?
Ignition switch ? Immobiliser ?
The intermittent silence of the problem is killing me!
Please help
