corsa 1.2 wont start

Post by stone »

Working fine started first time every time and then nothing waited about five min`s tryed again and started got home stopped and tryed to start again nothing again,
left it to the next day got in started first time went to work, would not start had to bump start it got home tryed it today and nothing but now the ignition jams at position 2 and wont go further to try to turn the car over. If I take the key out, all the dash lights stay on and the electrics continue to work.

Ignition switch? Jammed starter? Ignition barrel? Alternator? Any combination of them?

hi there the most problem cause it most probably the battery or the alternator , try replacing the battery first as the battery is probably had it and not keeping its charge , if not that its the alernator not chaging the battery so check the alternator belt to make sure it is not slipping if not that its most likly needs and alternator or started motor as the solinoid in the starter motor can sometimes stick
