Default re starter problems - 08-03-2006 , 01:14 PM






Hi

Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. I put the motor back on, then
charged the battery and then checked the earth straps - no success.

Under the bonnet on the right of the bulkhead there are two relays which I
could hear clicking when I turned the key to the start position. I put my
hand on them to see which one was clicking when I turned the key and hey
presto it started.

To cut a long story a bit shorter one of the wires was corroded through on
the one nearest the passenger side. Fixed it and all is fine.

Who'd of thought it eh?

later
