It might be possible you got a bad battery. Try to get it checked out first before spending too much. Take to autozone or someplace similar to check it, or try purchasing a battery with higher kranking power and see if that helps.
As for the radio and lights still working, doesnt really prove too much. Just one way to show it still has power but dont know if enough power to start the car.

Hope this helps a little..

 

When this happened, i did get the battery checked out, i took it to advance and autozone. i was ready to get another battery.. but they said mine was tottaly fine.

And as far as the terminals go, i removed them and cleaned them with the terminal bush tool, then tighten the leads back up...

I did not get to check the cables yet (other side)
the side that goes to the frame/engine and stater.

I recommend that he does that, and maybe even try another battery just for shits and giggles.

if still fall's i believe it could possible be the starter solenoid...

I know with the s200 being electronic, that it will require the coorect voltage before it will even try to crank, this is why i recommend he just tired a different battery.

but we will see, i hope he gets this fixed soon, as i feel bad he is experiencing problems

Good luck Steve!

 

Wow, thats awesome man. not even an owner of the car anymore, and here to help. kudos to you!

 

 

AND THE SOLUTION! somehow the starter came loose, i had to tighten the bolt on it and it started right up. (getting to this bolt was absolutely insane, luckily i have extremely thin arms lol)

thanks all for the tips

 

gratz on the fix!

 

Cool, and kudos again to the previous owner.

 

this thread makes me happy

 

well i managed to get the one bolt down but i can't seem to find any way to get to the other bolt without removing everything on top of it. Anyone know if you can even get to that other starter bolt without dismantling the vehicle?
