Re: 1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

I should mention that the battery is back above 12V (I think 12.35 or so) now since I tried to charge it for a while off the Jump-n-Carry... Should I just take the battery to where I purchased it from and have them test/recharge it before going further? It would be pretty easy for me to do, just ...

Re: 1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

Oh my God, yes, I was making a stupid typo. Very sorry. I meant 11.94, not 19.94.

I have tried jumping the car with another vehicle and still no noise from the starter solenoid at all (I verified battery voltage was present at the starter nut).

Re: 1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

I was reading 19.9V directly across the battery terminals with my multimeter, both connected to and disconnected from the car. I'm going to try jumping it with another vehicle but I think it must be a problem with the starter.

Re: 1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

OK, I guess reading the directions for the jumpstart/charger unit (it's a Jump-n-Carry JNC660) made me think it should just work immediately when I connected it to the car which I guess isn't the case. I've taken the battery out and am charging it with that same device, should I just wait until the ...

Re: 1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

Thanks for all the suggestions. So far I have tried using my roommate's external battery charger. When I hooked it up to the car's battery and tried turning the key to start the car, I heard what sounded like the solenoid firing once, but no other noises. After that it was back to nothing, just the ...

1997 850 T-5 no crank/start, low battery voltage...

Hi, I've lurked here a bunch but haven't had cause to post until now. My '97 850 T-5 wagon has about 202k miles on it, got it at ~197 last year. I replaced the battery earlier this year since the one that had been installed was rather small for this vehicle. It's been starting and running fine ...
