[doc] The problem with my car...

["Thomas Mc Auley" <mcauleydmc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, heres the overall problem with my car...it wont start, wont even 
crank. Its an automatic, so I have checked the linkage which seems 
fine because it makes contact with the inhibitor switch when in 
neutral and park.
When I try to start it, I can hear relays clicking behind passenger 
seat so they seem fine (if I hold in the ignition, the microswitch 
in the engine bay ticks constantly). 
   The starter fuse seems to melt down whenever the car is cranked 
continuously (I got the car like that, and it happened to me last 
week) and I do not know if that is normal. 
   I got a multi digital reader thingy which is complicated to work, 
but I do get readouts from the relay sockets, battery connections 
and even that fuse socket for the starter, so I think that is good.

I am going to attempt putting a 25 amp cable between the positive 
battery terminal and Pin 85 of the starter relay, which may start 
the car. (thanks to Nick Tomlinson for his advice!)

Clearly, I am not mechanically/electrically minded but I am picking 
it up as I go along. So, can anyone tell me, or suggest what the 
problem is?

Thanks,
Thomas
