    Patriot 2010 5sp manual
    Hi Guys,
    I recently became the proud owner of a 2010 Patriot 5sp manual.
    Its only done 65000kms and seems nearly new but has a few minor issues.
    The problem I would like some help with is-
    When the engine gets up to running temp and I turn it off, it wont start again for about 5min.
    It just clicks - sounds like it's drawing too much from the battery and some relay is cutting it off. It had a pretty small battery, 480cca, so I got a new 640cca but made no diff.
    After 5 min, or whenever cold, it starts easy.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Could be a hot start problem with the starter/solenoid. Some shops test your starter. Inspect your battery cables from end-to-end as corrosion within the cables could result in a lot of resistance and loss or intermittent conductivity
