208d wont start help

[max11]

208d had new starter battery all sorts and this is what happens when i turn the key i hear a sizzling noise from the battery?? engine doesnt turn over
any advise would be very helpful

This noise sounds like a corroded battery terminal,, take them off and scrape the connection so that they are bright..

Do check the earth strap on the battery where it joins the chassis

The sizzling noise could also be a faulty battery with an internal connection problem

well good luck and welcome to the forum,,the more I think about it , it sounds like a dud battery and have heard that sound before

Check the earth onto the engine block, back of the starter, also the wiring harness to the starter, where it's clipped to the block, this rubs through and shorts.

battery holds its charge checked terminals and cleaned still no luck checked earth to back of starter looks ok wheres this clip thing ruffley please

Turn your headlamps on and try and start,,do the headlamps go out

Another thing could it be that the starter is jammed in the flywheel,, if a manual box just put it in reverse and rock the van until it pops out

head lights stay the same will try rocking it tomorow will i hear it pop out or rock and try rock and try

If the engine turns when you rock it then the starter is free.

I am only assuming that the starter is jammed,as you said about the sizzling from the battery.

Rocking the car in gear and looking at the engine you will see when /if the engine free's up and turns.

If the engine is free,when you turn the key you should hear the click as the starter solenoid engages, no click then the starter can be faulty

Is this van 24 volt? does it have 2 batteries 12 volt each?

If so have you connected them up wrong?

 

[max11]

just rocked it got a click click noise when turned key is it nearly there

 

[max11]

1 battery as normal

This could well be that the starter motor has packed up, can you turn the engine over now

 

[max11]

tryed again now no click noise

tryed again now no click noise

You do need to be sure that the engine can turn over,, use a large spanner on the crank shaft damper

question which way do the orange and black wires go is it orange to earth or black to earth trying to eliminate any possibilitys also when the big wire is connected with nut it still seems to move been told it shouldn't be able to move help

 

[television]

If you mean the battery wires,, then the orange should be the + and the black the - the - lead negative goes to the chassis (ground)
