Hey folks, I’m another guy with some starting issues. Car just clicks even when hooked up to a jump starter. Battery less than a year old, hooked up to a tender. Battery charger and tender both independently think the battery has a full charge. Car started just fine a month ago. Some things I’ve noticed are that when I turn the key on the voltmeter in the dash can give different readings from 10 volts all the way to 16 volts, not varying but just different each time I turn the ignition to ‘on’, yet nothing if not hooked up to a charger. I’ve also noticed depressing the brakes drops the voltage from 16 back down to 10 during jump start. Also, last time I drove it everything worked great except for the radio acted up and only played through base speakers. My fix for that was to just turn off the radio and down shift a few cards for audio entertainment. I know i do have a clutch pedal switch problem but I’ve been able to work around it by patience and persistence. This time its acting like some sort of electrical issue, which I hope not bc while mechanically inclined I’m electrically ********. When trying to jump start it will click but never turn over. Does this sound like anything anybody else has experienced? New to the Viper community, bought this bad boy two years ago and it has been both rewarding as hell and challenging my mechanical skills at least every few months. ‘94 Gen1 with 27k miles.
