Hey guys,
New issue this weekend that has me baffled at the moment. Just starting the diagnosis so more to follow.
Cold weather caused me to run over add some antifreeze to the mix and start the cars. Forgot to remove the battery tender on one and created a mess somehow cooking the starter relay.
Replaced relay and reattached all wires and now no power entire car and even from the battery to the starter cables.
Removed all wires from relay and now have power back to the cables on the starter.
Looks like maybe something is causing a ground fault beyond the relay?
Here is my plan of attack next weekend.
Check all fuses.
Hook up only the one (small) red wire from the starter to relay and check for power.
If we have power, hook up neutral safety switch and check for power.
If we have power, hook up black solenoid wire and check for power.
If we have power, hook up black solenoid wire and check for power.
Hook up violet and red wire to relay and power disappears problem is beyond relay?
Thoughts and suggestions?
Thank you,
Jeff
