76 2.0 stock FI
Lucky for me its in my garage. Last time I drove it, it was all smiles! When I turn the key the FI charges and all lights seem normal. I get no click from the starter and no spin. Starter is less than 3000 miles old and was working fine. If I jump the terminals on the starter it spins. I have a solid AGM battery, 13 volts to starter on big power line. All fuses are good and wiring harness is totally stock and unmolested. I get no power to the brown wire on the starter soleniod when the key is turned. Is there a relay for this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) BTW I did do a search but most info is related to cranking but not starting. Any ideas? |

Yep I have a multimeter. I am a field Engineer in electronics....
I did ohm out the new switch after it did not fix the problem. This is quite baffling. I understand how the starter works. If I put 12 volts to the terminal on the starter solenoid the car starts and runs fine. Its got to be a broken wire. I just don't know which pin that comes off the relay board. If I had that, I can check voltage there and ohm the wire from the switch to the board as well as from the relay board to the starter. Anyone know where those come and go from the relay board? |
