Maybe someone has an idea of what could be happening. ( I have acquired my Grandmas Plymouth 63 Valiant ) - have some knowledge about vehicles, would a bad starter not allow ignition light (oil) to turn on?
I had the car running and ready to sale. (but while driving it started to idle funny and then it died at the light)
- What I did notice is that the battery tray hold-down slipped and made contact to the positive side of the battery... so it shorted out.
(I removed the interference and it started up fine, and I took it home) No problems...
The next evening I was all set to take her for a nice bath, but all I got was a CLICK. (no crank-age)
(Knowing its probably something simple I wanted to ask here in the forum for some advice.
- Got a New Battery. (just because the old one was nearing end of life) --
-- Just a Click, usually represents a bad starter correct?
--- I also noticed the OIL red light, is not turning on when i put the key into the starting position, as it had earlier... so i am thinking something
might be also wrong with ( other parts I am not familiar with ) - -
It runs really nice, I did notice that the starter when it did crank over made some noises after the car would start for a few revolutions.
any quick tips or help would be greatly appreciated... I will say, Mopar lovers are very nice people. I get more attention in this 63 Push Button, than in my 68 Camaro.
