My Tercel is a winter car. It sits in storage on my lot.
About 2 weeks ago I started it up on the 1st try, no problem.
Yesterday, I went to start it, no problem. Shut it down again as I had to go in the house for awhile.
Would not start again. I put my volt meter on it and the voltage was depleted.
Service centre confimed it was toast when I got a replacement battery. Put the new battery in, started no problem.
Today, I went to start it as I need to get it to a shop for some body work (a little rusty).
It started no problem. Had to turn it off for a bit.
Went to restart it. NOTHING not even a click, click.
Boosted just to be sure, measured 12.4 VDC with my meter. Still no clicking, BUT the lights & radio worked.
I disconnected & reconnected the terminals just to be sure. Again, it would not start.
Tomorrow, I think I will check the fuses.
Any suggestions?
