Intermittant Starting Problems
Ignition in on position (not start) I get clicking in passenger area. Sounds like glove box, but could be footwell area. Car wont start, get all kinds of DIC errors sometimes. 1518 error, etc. Eventually, I can turn to on position and when it does not click and DIC says Corvette without complaining, it will then start fine. Runs fine once started.
I've read a lot of posts and have a dozen things to check that would take me all weekend. Of course I'll do them all if needed, but would like to isolate it a bit more. Nobody seems to mention the clicking even before trying to start. The seems to eliminate the starter or solenoid all together to me.
I get the P1518 code. Charge system failure, low voltage, etc.
I recently did some mods and had the neg battery disconnected, the intake off, moved right coolant tang to get to right shock, put a LS2 TB on my LS6 with the adapter kit.
Neg battery is tight, but I will take that off and redo.
I've read there is a cyl head ground wire up in the area by the intake and firewall. Possible I crimped it somehow.
I've read there is a ground by the coolant tank, but according to your Bills Ground pics, its really by the battery.
If a fuse were bad (no_start doc), would it be intermittent, or just not ever work?
When it does crank, it cranks hard so I doubt its the battery, but I could stop into Advanceauto to check. Just another time eater.
I did have the starter/solenoid replaced 6 months ago with a non crank problem. But again, even without turning key to start, I notice clicking and DIC flashing and or dimly lit.
