Hey all
About a month ago I experienced an issue with the LR4 not starting. Battery seemed to be the cause and I replaced with a H8 AGM.
I still experienced a few issues of her 'clicking' but not turning over. After browsing the forums tried resetting the starter motor relay (remove, leave 20seconds, replace) to no avail. Then read one reply to slowly depress the accelerator pedal, push the starter button until she kicks over and when she does kick over release the accelerator pedal. Hey presto worked....
Had to do this a few times to get her started and thought maybe the ECU needs to be reset to recognize/calibrate to the new battery. Anyway... seemed to sort herself out and hasn't been an issue... until yesterday!
Again, she's just clicking when pressing the starter button - sounds like the starter solenoid. However if I complete the accelerator pedal 'trick' she starts. This obviously suggests to me that it's not the starter motor.
Any ideas??
I don't have an IID tool.................. yet!
Thanks in advance.
