Of course it will run after it is started, the current is provided by the alternator.

If it is a sealed battery, replace it. Was this answer helpful?

What does no start no crank no click mean?

If you have a late model GM vehicle and turn the key only to hear nothing, you’ll most likely think you have a dead battery—and you may. But a no start, no crank, no click condition can be far more involved than that. In the old days, power flowed through the ignition switch and down to the starter solenoid. Not anymore.

Why does my car not start when the lights are on?

if the lights are on and remain on when trying to crank but the problem is that the starter does not even attempt to engage then this points to a problem with either the ignition switch or the exciter cable, this is the narrow gauge cable attached to the starter which, when made live, engages the solenoid to begin the cranking process.

Why does my car not start at 9 / 10?

This is because 9/10 a no start condition will be because of a bad battery, bad connections, or user error in diagnosing those both. I have started many friends cars that wouldn’t crank, or crank strongly, simply because I saw the battery terminals were loose.

Why does my electric bike not start up?

When you press the start button, you should get battery voltage at the wire to the starter relay, probably yellow with green stripe. If you get no voltage, the various safeties, or an intermittent would be a likely problem. How old is this bike? Other issues due to age could be present, if it is old enough.

Why does my motorcycle make no noise when I turn it on?

Why do the lights on my bike not work?

However, the electric start still doesn’t work. I also noticed that several times (but not all the time), when I was pressing buttons like the electric start or the high beam, my bike would die again and I would have to wiggle the ignition unit again to get lights. I also tried run-starting it, but no luck.

What’s the problem with my bike not starting?

Bike won’t start, battery is fine I just joined the sight because I really need some help. I am a first time owner and have a 2005 Suzuki GSX600F Katana with 12,000 miles.

How can I tell if my car battery is not working?

Check the terminals on the battery for corrosion and tightness. A good way to check how tight they are is to try and wiggle them with your hand if you can wiggle them they are not tight enough. Tighten them and start over. Make sure the battery is installed correctly, and there isn’t a build up of corrosion on the terminals.

Why do my house batteries not charge when I run the engine?

They will read very low if no charging voltage is present. The house batteries (as well as chassis batteries) should charge when the engine is running, if not then you should find a fuse in a positive 12 volt feed between them and the alternator.

What’s the voltage of a car battery with no power?

ASSUME YOU MEAN WITH NO SHORE POWER AND ENGINE OFF– THAT VOLTAGE IS OK– ABOUT A 40% DISCHARGED BATTERY. The Chassis battery running is 14.35. VERY GOOD– THAT IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
