Default AU1 won't start

Good day all,

I know its probably obvious as the nose on my face, but id like to confirm with fellow Auvians.

My AU1 Fairmont has just not wanted to start at the moment. Interior lights, accessories, etc are working but all I get is the clicking/ticking of the starter motor (or whatever makes that noise).

I just wanted to confirm my thoughts on whether or not its a shot battery.


Cheers

Sounds like it mate. How long have you had the current battery?

Just found out it was battery related, corrosion on the terminals caused a crappy contact. So its all good now

Damn I love when the problems easy
