i have a customers car in my shop getting ready to be painted and im getting pissed of cause i can't move the car it wont crank and its in my way of other cars that needs work im thinking it could be a electrical promblem cause the car is trying to crank when you turn the key but it just barely turns over. the battery is NEW like only a couple hours old, but when trying to crank it, it seems like the battery is dead like its not getting any power cause it just barely turns over. So when this happen my first assumption was to take it to autozone to get charged but autozone tested it 1st and said its not low, full of water, and its still fully charged. So i bought new battery cable screws and change them out hoping to get a better connection still wont crank (side post battery by the way) So then we tried jumping it off. it was hooked to a dodge charger and still wouldn't crank then connected it to a tow truck and still wont crank. I've even tried hitting the starter with a pole and still nothing. I then took the alternator off and took it to be tested and it was good. So i've lost a half of days work messing with this car so if you know what the problem could be please let me know!!

Well as long as it's turning over, that means the trigger wire is working. There's only a few things it could be, bad battery, cables or starter. You've had the battery tested. Sounds like you're a bodyshop so I'm guess you don't have the equipment to do a starter draw test. If one of the guys has a voltmeter they could do a voltage drop test on the cables to make sure they are good.. One indication of a starter drawing too many amps is the cable will get really hot & limp while cranking due to the excessive amps flowing thru the cables...............
