Location: Ames, Iowa | Just bought a new starting battery after getting 8 years out of my dual purpose battery. Both batteries by themselves start the motor great. Problem is when I hook up the navigation/dash and the console mount Humminbird, the motor doesn't always start- just get a click, spark, nothing. Now it also did this with the previous battery.
When I take the nav/dash and Humminbird + and - leads off, motor starts right up.
Even after sanding and scraping the leads to get a great connection, I can get no start. Is this related to sulfating of the + lead. I am about ready to rewire both + and - leads all around. Is there a better way to keep the contamination off other than baking powder and H2O. |
