C15 engine won’t turn over

So you put a cheater bar and socket on the engine and it still didn't turn over? Is the starter stuck in the "open " position?

 

Jump the solenoid on the starter ... it will probably fire right up.

I have the same issue every once in a while for the past few years. Gives a dead key that sounds like it is hydrolocked. I think it is the starter relay. I havent replaced mine because if I cycle the key a couple times it will usually turn over. AND I havent found an aftermarket non KW relay ... and they want like 300 bucks for something that should be 20 dollars. Non start for me happens a lot when the batteries are getting weak ... maybe you have a loose connection on your new batteries.

 

How do your cables look? Have you load tested them?

 

The gear reduction starters are nice! I like my mitsubishi ... think its been in there around 4 years now. FYI, new starter made no difference for my dead key problems.

 

You put jumper cables on it. Charge from your car. My Kia soul takes 45 to 60 minutes to charge batteries once they are dead.

 

Slow crank sounds like you've got a bad battery out of the new set
