Hi, Im Having A huge problem with my Ford Puma. 1 year now suddenly stops starting. I bring it to the garage they change the start motor (battery is fine) I paid 400 euro the firt time. After that works 1 week then again same problem last 4 months worked only for 2 to 3 days. I start it always with a little pushing. It needs very little I even do it by my self, the garage 10 times dont take money from me cause I paid the first time and they vcannot really tel me whats the problem. I notice that sometimes it works and mostly when is cold and wet outside I dont know if that have something to do with it. They told me to check my earth wires, Can you please help me I am desperate for an answer since I have a little baby and a woman with cancer and is necesary my card to start, thank you Manos

Is the starter bad each time you return to the shop? As far as the ground (earth) wire, follow the negative wire from the battery to the engine block. See if it is tight and clean, free of corrosion.

Let me know what you find.
