Hey

I m idiot because i didnt keep motor running during washing my Landcruiser and the engine bay was really dirty so I washed it then later i try to start it and it wont start and make cick cick cick sounds with two turbo light flashing and battery light flashing too :bang: Please give me some idea what the :censor: going on

Thanks
 
I have washed my engine bay dozens of times without a problem. The only time i have heard that sound is when the batterys are dead or one is overcharged and the other is undercharged (im talking about 24v) Try swapping the batteries over if it is 24v and charging each battery separatley. Or just charge your 12v battery.
 
Me too. I wash mine after driving muddy tracks and it always starts. I make sure the engine is cool when I wash it. I also don't spray to much around the battery, alt or other electrical bits. Hope you find the problem.

Yeah i checked the battery and seem its one battery is low than other one so I recharged and it starts no problem !!:bounce:

If you still have the JDM batteries in there, get rid of them... 90% of them are junk at the time of importation. Of the remaining 10%, about half won't make it through one season where there's a dramatic temperature change involved.

Good maintenance dictates that starter contacts and alternator brushes should get replaced.
