Weird electrical behavior when starting
Hi all, I’ve been having some weird electrical behavior recently when starting the disco. Most of the time the disco fires up strongly, no problem, however about every 10th start or so I get nothing. Sometimes I get a very labored, slow speed crank before it starts up. When it doesn’t start at all I get no electrical service, no dash lights or anything. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery solves the problem and it fires back up strongly like nothing ever happened. I have a quick battery disconnect installed on the negative post of my battery because I was having some electrical drain issues a while back. I’ve since solved those problems but kept the disconnect on because sometimes the rover sits for a while between drives. Lately however I’ve been keeping it connected as I’ve been driving it about twice a week to work and back. I only bring this up so that you know it’s there, but I don’t think it’s the problem for what it’s worth. Any ideas? Usually I’ve got an idea where to start on electrical issues but I’ve got nothing here.
