Re: [DML] Circuit Breaker Upgrades -- Now no-start

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Early cars had a recall to re-wire the relay that powers the starter 
solenoid and the connection is sent to the fan speed circuit breaker. 
Later cars had this as standard. You need to check that connection - if 
you read up these instructions, you should be able to find the relay and 
trace that wire

With this connection off, you'll get the symptoms you describe. The fuel 
pump should not switch on until the engine actually cranks.
