What I have seen many times is the ground wire to the frame of the car is the problem, Be it loose or disconnected it would stop the motor from turning over. Thanks for all the help you guys! That could also cause the head light problem. Turn the ignition switch to the On position, and power up the scan tool. My car has 130000 miles. Consider hiring an experienced technician like one from YourMechanic who can come out and perform these checks on your vehicles to offer a more personal diagnosis. It is built on the starter so you have to replace both. I tried getting under it but as its not running I can't drive it up the ramps and it's not currently on a suitable surface to jack the car up and I'm not going to risk getting underneath it the way it currently sits.
Bought a 08 charger few years ago after a couple months went to turn it on no start all lights work fine. Check for ground wires between the engine and frame, and body. The splice either gets crudded up or breaks all together. Thanks for your help anyway mate. The engine inexplicably stalled each time after about 2 seconds of runtime each time.
I would really appreciate any hints you may have to get her started again. So check that the smaller of the black wires,coming from the battery,is connected good to the frame of the car and the larger of the black wires has a…. Also, my lo-beam lights will come on for about 10-seconds and go off. The alarm light is off during start up, so I don't think it is the immobiliser. I got it back today all fixed. I eventually located a wiring diagram of the Starting Circuit.
Note: Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. Any idea what would case this bad starter or switch? Does this voltage range sound right? If you know the battery and cables are good, remove the starter and have it tested at most auto parts stores. Due to factors beyond the control of Ratchetsand Wrenches, no information contained in this video shall create any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. I've heard they do, but mine has not been. Finally, check for good ground on terminal 85 in the relay socket. After eventually locating the starter motor tucked in behind the inlet manifold I thought how the hell do I get in there to check anything? If I'm not getting 12V to the Starter solenoid wouldn't that indicate that I have a problem in the Starting Circuit before the Starter motor? Note: The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the locked position without irreversibly damaging the column.
My brother-in-law suggested we push it up a slight incline, get it to rolling and let the clutch out. Yes, it cranked and started 4 times in a row. Normally I hear a solenoid noise near the steering column maybe a steering lock solenoid or something after I pull the key out of the ignition barrel. Now the mechanic thinks it's a short somewhere. If the signal does and there is no starter function, replace the starter.
If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced with new units. I have tried both keys and replaced the battery in one of the keys. The control side of the coil gets its ground from the neutral switch manual transmission or the transmission range selector automatic transmission. Make sure the frame-to-engine ground-strap is intact and connected tightly on both ends. Before attempting service, the ignition key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. All you get is a click when you turn the key. So yes, the battery was disconnected for over an hour so everything should have reset itself.
The only other thing I can check is the Transmission position switch. It can be a bad starter, but it can be a corroded battery cable. It did this 4 times in a row then on the fifth attempt there is no more crank. Lead, follow, or get out of the way P 1 Post a reply to this message: Username Registration: All visitors are allowed to post messages Name: Email: Notify me when I get a reply to my message: Yes No Icons: Subject: Message:. Like it's not getting fire or fuel.
Turn the ignition key to the Off position. Well one bright spot about the lawn anyway! It's looking like I'll have to get it to a dealer to fix it. Hi guys, my 2008 Avenger with 2. Look inside the engine compartment fuse panel and you will find several relays, they should all be the same so swap out the ac and starter relays and see if it starts. Have an old spark plug? But you have not yet ruled out the first thing to check for your problem.
Turn the ignition key to the On position, engine off. Does this computer need to be programmed? I can't do much more. I have been unable to crank it over since. It's a 96 dak with an engine from a 98 dak. His response was they have too much work.
