Re: [DML] Help.....Car Won't Start

Hi Bob

You need to look at voltages on the ignition and starter relays. Check both are being
switched, and both have supplies to actually switch. My money's on the immobiliser
cutting the supply to one (or both) of them.

The reason I said you should check the recall on the starter relay is that it involved
someone moving contacts in the relay socket, making up a new lead, and plugging it into a
permanent supply. This lead may be suspect - but it'll take you 30 seconds to check.
Because this is a recall it's NOT on the wiring diagram.

You'd know if the solenoid was engaging, but not turning the engine - my car (which had
not had the starter upgrade) did this when the battery was a bit low.

I mentioned Paul Salsbury's system in my last post. He has now removed it by tracing all
the supplies that weren't 12v when they should be. Please feel free to mail me if you
want a hand
