Fiat Ducato starting problems

boyoh · 2016-05-02 11:28:45

Hello, hope someone can help. I have just tried to start my camper after a long winter and it won't start. The battery is full but the engine won't crank (turn over) and the oil and battery lights stay bright, any ideas ? Thanks ...........boyoh :confused:

Could be a sticky solenoid on the starter. Do no harm to give the solenoid a few relatively gentle taps with a hammer.
