Wireing for 1500a li jump starter

The wiring for a 1500a Li jump starter should include the following components:1. A power source such as a battery, generator, or other power source.2. A power cable to connect the power source to the jump starter.3. A circuit breaker to protect against any over-current conditions.4. A relay to control the flow of electricity from the power source to the jump starter.5. A charging port for connecting the jumper cables to the jump starter.6. A set of jumper cables to make the connection between the power source and the jump starter.7. Safety features such as a fuse, circuit protection, and/or a safety switch to ensure that the jump starter is not damaged or over-powered.

Why if i replaced the starter and its relay by the radiator and batt on 96 cavalier still not starting what alse can it be

Hi Juan:
It's possible that the relay (solenoid) is not connected properly.
If you're jumping the relay Power to Power (big wires) you're bypassing the relay so don;t really know if it is working.
If you jump the Power (in) wire to the activator terminal it should spin the engine over. If not, the relay would be suspect. .

My 2003 Isuzu Rodeo will not start it clicks when I try to crank it.

If it is just clicking then the starter motor is not turning over and you will not be able to start the engine.

You need to check...
1. The starter motor relay. If it has failed you will get no power to the starter motor and you replace it with a new relay. Your owners manual shows you the location of the relay.

2. Check the power supply to the starter solenoid and then from the starter solenoid to the starter motor itself.

3. If these are getting the correct current then you may have either a failed starter motor solenoid or the motor itself. Do not just replace the starter motor and assume that will fix the problem (as some people do) without doing all the essential wiring and current checks. If there is a wiring failure or the starter unit is not receiving the correct power you need to address that issue.

The P0240 code I believe has nothing to do with the starting issue. It relates to the catalytic converters on the exhaust system.
Read about the issue from the link below or look up numerous other references.

What happen if starter solenoid is not working properly

Simply replace it. You can't really take any chances with your starter. It's essential for your car to move and have power.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, wouldn't start twice, just clicking noise. Had it jumped started fine. Battery and alternator checked out ok. Hasn't done it since then. Any suggestions? Starter or...

The fact that a jump made the thing work really rules out starter and solenoid. If you got a clicking but no start, then a jump fixed the problem, there are really only 2 possible causes. Since the first is a dead battery and you have said the battery was fine, then it has to be the second, which is a poor connection between one of the leads and the battery. Sometimes, oxidisation builds up under the connector and this will cause the connection to fail although it looks good. Clamping jump leads to the connector probably disturbed it and made the connection good again. Remove each cable clamp, clean battery connector and the clamp on the cable thoroughly with emery cloth and reconnect, As you're doing this, also check that the connections that hold the cable into the clamp are good and tight and have no corrosion.

REMEMBER that if you disconnect your battery, you may loose the security code to your radio/CD. An easy way to avoid this is jump onto the cable connectors from another battery (Like you were jump starting it) so that the power to the radio is maintained during the procedure.

325xi - car will not start. Makes a clicking sound when I put the key in not sure if starter or not enough battery power. I tried to jump start it but it still did not turn on.

Try taking the battery out of the car and putting it on a battery charger for about an hour then put it back in to see what happens sometimes a jump isnt good enough especially is the battery is really drained. I mean you can jump it but it would take a while a better way is to put a good charge on the battery and then try it if it still clicks then it may be the starter but I would certainly try the battery first.

99 Aurora. 2nd starter. Car sometimes won't start. Sounds like starter solenoid. When it doesn't start, I turn the key and hear solenoid click. Mechanic claims it's not the starter. This happens about once...

We had the same issue on an 2001 Aurora. I left it for a year before it finally annoyed me enough to fix it. In our case it was the starter. The only difference was we didn't get a click of the solenoid when it happened.
I would guess the starter OR the alignment of the starter. If the starter is not aligned properly, sometimes when the solenoid engages it does not throw the gear out into the flywheel properly.
The "starts with a jump" doesn't make any sense to me. If this is really the case I would look at the battery and connections for an issue. If you do not have enough power to engage the starter properly this could be the issue.

It sounds like you have blown a fuse or a relay. Consult your owners manual and locate your power distribution box (most likely under the hood) and check your fuses and check your starter relay by swapping it with another that is not essential for starting your vehicle.
