Hi all, I have a countax c500h it has been running fine and I used it
today and then I went to use it again this afternoon and it wont start.
When you turn the key to the first ignition all the right lights come on
and you hear the click which I am guessing is something to do with the
fuel pump that always happens but then when you turn to the second
ignition to start it nothing happens..... Any ideas?

What happens to the lights you mention when you try to start?
Stay on?
Go out?
Go dim?

Sounds like a stuck starter motor.

Classic symptoms of a stuck starter motor. Might be worth giving it a
tap with a hammer, it might free it. Or a high resistance/broken
connection in the high current wiring from the battery to starte
motor and/or earth bonds from the engine to chassis.
Do the dash board lights dim at all when you try to start?
