Woke up early this morning to do some mx racing. Pulled my 2005 sprinter out of the barn with no issues. Fired right up like always. Drove it 300 feet to the house to fill my cooler, turned van off.
Got my things done, got in van to leave went to start. Turned key all lights lit as normal. Waited for glow plug light to go out, turned key, and lost all power. Dash lights went dead, door was open/dome light went out. No juice !!
This lasted 5 seconds, then, everything came back on, all power/lights everything, on.
Went on ahead to start and got "start error" on display. I'm think'n I had dirty terminals. Pulled and cleaned. Still start error. Now thinking low battery, got charger out with boost and still start error.
I had messed with this for 30 min now so my racing was done. I wasn't gonna drive it 4 hrs away with it acting like this.
Got on this forum and searched for an answer.
This is what I have done and still have "start error"
Cleaned every terminal I can find, including everything on firewall.
Tested battery, shows 12.5 volts
Unhooked negative terminal for 1 hr to reset computer.
Tapped starter with mallet
Replaced shifter in all position
Pulled #7 fuse, all is good
Pulled top fuse in stack under seat, all good
Cycled key numerous times in ignition
Cycled lock/unlock buttons on remote numerous times
Popped remote
Popped the top of dash
What else is left ??? I have missed my race, and still have start error. Crappy day
Help,help,help
I do not know what else to do
