djg99 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi there can anyone shed some light on this for me, my car has been sat outside for the last week after my car key snapped off in the lock. Finally got this sorted went to start her up and all i get is a fast ticking noise, all the lights on the dash flicker really fast while the key is turned. I'll try and get a video uploaded later to see if the helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Starter motor isn't getting enough voltage from the battery, or it's knackered! You got a trickle charger, or jump leads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Flat battery fella, should be fine with a jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djg99 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ok cheers only asked as when I've had flats before it's never done it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It will do that if the battery terminals are not connected tightly enough too. I found this out myself once at a petrol station which was quite embarrassing. Easy fix though as I just tightened them and all was fine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 lol same here at the petrol station i couldnt start the car i looked like a right bellend and everyone was looking at me. this was in my subaru and one of my lugs were loose, previous owner overtightened it and ruined it i didnt know this at the time, lifted the bonnet up and messed with it and it was fine but embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
