...and now doesn't crank at all.
After 5-7 seconds the starter would pick up speed and she would fire, but gradually this period got longer and longer until it stopped picking up speed and just got slower.
Cleaned up and charged the batteries, cleaned the contacts on the leads, replaced the terminals and of course cleaned up the posts on the batteries, put it all back together and nothing, not a click, not even a light. Batteries are both showing almost 13v. Tried a spare starter relay, checked the fuses and fuseable links...I'm mystified.
Next is to check the contacts in the starter; brushes have been suggested as a possible problem, but I know the 2LTs tend to burn up their starter contacts...
But that doesn't explain the complete lack of power to the system now.
Anyone care to speculate?
