So my 2000 Acty wouldn't start today. Havent driven fo a couple of days When I last drove it was 5°C (41°F) and a sloppy slushy mess Within 4 hours the temperature plummeted The temperature dropped to at least-20°C (-4°F) and hasn't gotten above -10 °C (14°F) since ( a little cooler than that as I write this) I haven't had problems with it starting in the past at colder temperatures. I tested the battery and its its fully charged. Everything works except when I turn key to start, not even a click. Im guessing that because it was wet when I last drove something like the starter has gotten iced up. Am I having a brain fart and overlooking something?
Thanks. I installed a 125w heater and it was effective until the temp dropped below 30°c the other day. I took some spot temperature readings with my infrared therand had some -38°c readings I guess im just going to have to drape a tarp over the box at night to help the heater out.
yep oil pan heater is the way to go, and a battery blanket if you have one even with a magnetic oil pan heater below -26c if my Sambar doesnt start after 4 seconds of cranking the batteries about done and i need to use a booster pack, its enough that im debating installing a bigger battery next summer
