My 2002 T&W sometimes starts fine but other times it just 'clicks' one time when I turn the ignition key to start the engine. The engine does not start, nor does it turn over it just clicks one time. I can turn the key to the ignition off and immediately try it again and after about 3 or 4 tries the engine will turn over and start and run just fine. It is now taking more than 3 or 4 times of turning the ignition off and on before the engine will turn over. It's taking about 6 to 10 times and I'm concerend that soon it will not start at all. Any Ideas? We love our T&W.

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Suspect faulty ignition switch. You can remove starter and have a local part store, such as AutoZone, test it for free of charge just to be on the safe side. You should also have the part store test your charging system just to be certain battery, battery cables and alternator are good. If you need further assistance just let me know.

Thanks for using 2CarPros. Com!
