Re: [DML] Won't start - no starter, no fuel pump, some relay clicking

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxxxxxx>]

I once had a similar symptom that turned out to be a loose battery terminal.  Often a bad connection here will work fine at low-current (radio, lights, etc) but fail completely during cranking.

Just a thought.

I turned the key a few more times and it started cranking again but then after a few more turns it stopped again and hasn't worked since. I replaced the relays and fuses (update kit) and verified the fuel pump powers (RPM relay bypass). I was going to check the grounding wire next but wanted to ask if anybody has any suggestions.
