Re: [DML] Still no start



Nick,
 
What's your VIN?  Has your car had the starter update done according to the service bulletin?  The bulletin (ST-05-2/82) says the cutoff was VIN 2547.
 
In either case, you might also make sure the brown wire feeding the starter is properly connected and that the circuit breaker in the relay compartment is working.  If it isn't, a condition exactly like you describe will occur.  (See the above mentioned bulletin and the wiring diagram for details).
 
Good luck!
 
Jake and 001063 (with starter modification done)

Hello list,

Still having starting problems. Here's what I've done so far.

1) Removed starter and took it to an Auto Electronics shop. Guy said 
it tested fine, I could hear it spinning when he had it on his bench.

2) Gave a good cleaning to all connections on starter and the leads 
going to starter. Cleaned battery terminals and cables.

3) Reinstalled starter. Still won't fire. I turn the key and hear the 
relay clicking, but starter does not turn.

4) When I jump between the terminals on the starter, it spins but 
does not engage and turn the engine.

5) I interchanged the start inhibit relay (it's an auto) with the 
relay next to it (a/c illumination?), but with no different results.

6) Swore and scratched my head a little.

Thoughts?

Nick
