Electrical (A6)Question 69 of 120
A starter that cranks slowly, with the battery known good and fully charged, most likely has:
a.Too little engine oil
b.A blown headlight fuse
c.A weak alternator
d.High resistance in the starter circuit or a failing starter
Explanation
Slow cranking with a good battery points to high resistance in the cables/connections or a worn starter, both of which limit current to the motor. A starter-circuit voltage drop test isolates the problem. Clean, tight connections are essential for full cranking current.
