1996 T4R won't always start when turned over

Hi All,

This is kind of odd to explain but here goes nothing. I have a 96 T4R with roughly 180k KM on it, the truck is standard. When I get into the truck and put the key in the ignition sometimes the truck will start turning over and then stop and then it just clicks. I will take my foot off the clutch push all the way down and try again sometimes it works other times it doesn't. This is also the case if I take the truck out of gear and push the clutch bypass button. Sometimes she will turnover over and start or sometimes i get just the clicking sound.

Details:
This happens most mornings when the morning dew is heaviest. (southern ontario). It does not happen as much when the truck has been driven and is warm. I have tried parking the truck on flat ground on a hill forward and backward and nothing has seemed to change it.
Also thinking of checking the clutch switch for when you press the clutch down to start.


A little direction on what it could be would be awesome. I haven't gotten to look at the starter yet to see if the plug is all the way in or if the contacts are real bad.

Thanks,
JM

If it is clicking, I'd say there is a 99% chance it is the starter contacts. Start there, they are relatively cheap and do wear out if they have never been replaced.
 
You were correct good sir unhooked the wire and she was full of rust So a good cleaning and spraying the a little grease she should be good for a long while again.

Thanks for the help.
