Hello could anyone help me/point me in the right direction with my mums Dodge Journey having problems starting the car, in the past two weeks sometimes car has been intermittently allowing the starter motor to engage... it just gives me 3 clicks from under the engine bay, seems from the right hand side...



ive added a extra ground from the battery negative jump start point to the engine block mount.


it’s had a new battery less than 12 month old

I can get the car started by towing it and putting it into second gear to bypass the starter motor


any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Spend all of five minutes learning to use a voltmeter. That will put you above about 80% of the pretend mechanics in the world.
