Cold weather not turning over

Hey everyone,

I just moved up to a small mountain town and as the temps are dropping. My L400 won't turn over unless I jump it with another car. All my electrical systems turn on just fine as well as the glow plug indicator comes on. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem?

Hey! That's a bummer. A few things to consider.

> Does it click or just do nothing?
> Do you change the weight of the engine oil when the season changes?
> If it clicks, that means there's not enough juice making it to the starter, which requires the most juice of anything in the running of any vehicle
> Check the ground and really give it a good cleaning at the contacts. Same with the battery posts and positive contacts.

Consider a dual battery?

Cheers!

Thanks for the input. It definitely clicks when I turn the ignition. Were would I find the Ground contact on the Delica? Also I already have two batteries in the delly does that mean I have a dual battery set up?

Thanks for your help
