[DML] Re: Non Start Problem - Transmission Related?





On an automatic the start inhibit relay is used to prevent starting
the car in gear. Temporaraly I would disable the circuit, jumping it
out and see if the trouble goes away. There are many other
possablities, like a bad starter solenoid, bad conections in the start
circuit, etc so ruling out the inhibit circuit is a good place to
start. Also inspect the wiring going to the shift computer. It can get
burnt on the hot exhaust pipes if not routed and secured correctly.
That can cause the fuse to blow and other problems like not-start.
Fuses do not "wear out". They open from vibration or if a current that
is large enough to melt the link is drawn through it. Fuses are
generally oversized so they do not get damaged from an overcurrent of
a short duration. If the fuse blows it is an indication of a problem
in the wiring or a component.
