[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1454462, member: 19880"] Except that it appears to start normally when jumped which it wouldn't do if the relay was bad. Depending on the wire used, it might not even be getting full power from the jump - perhaps just an "assist". Good idea to measure the voltage while cranking - I bet it is dropping to less than 8 or 9 V. 1) Battery not charged 2) Battery bad - voltage might show OK until you draw some current 3) Poor physical connection (cables to battery or ground to chassis) 4) Starter on the way out - need to verify by checking starting current. Do you have a known good battery you can try? [/QUOTE]
