Just pulled my 1970 4.2L OTS E-type out of winter storage. Charged the battery up and tried to start. Have power to all accessories, lights, fuel pump, gauges, etc. But the starter won,t even try to turn. Checked for power at the starter while someone turned the key and no power. It is a manual 4 speed so there isn't an inhibitor switch. Any ideas. I am planning on having it towed to my mechanic tomorrow but hate to because I know it must be something simple.
I have never had starting problems with this car. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Hi,
A couple of items you might check. Remove, clean and replace the battery terminal connections and to the starter solenoid. If easy enough, do the same for the starter. If this fails, pull the battery and have Auto-Zone etc perform a load test on the it. It's a free service. This is, if you don't already own a battery load tester.
Good Luck!

 

I have the same problem, what was the solution?

 

Folks who post questions, get answers and then are never heard from again on their thread explaining the outcome annoy me. They take but don't give back
