ok I did the test light on the starter wire and
it lit up fine. But I've also tried pulling the starter motor out and testing
it out of the car and it works fine, so the solonoid isn't buggered. The
ignition switch is fine. The battery is a brand new one. And the alternator is
charging.
anyone have any ideas? I've got no clue what's
left to check. Only other thing I though of checking were the earth straps
from the battery and motor, both seemed to be fine and tested ok with a test
light.
any suggestions no matter how small or blatantly
obvious appretiated, really need to get this thing going

Dave,
Get
a test light and another person, disconnect the small wire and put one end
of the test light in the spade connector and ground the other end. Get the
other person to turn the key to the start position to see if the light comes
on. If it does then the solenoid is stuffed, if it doesn`t then you may have
a buggered ignition switch.
Try wiggling/turning the key a little past the
start position and see if that does anything.
Also check the earth cable from the battery to
the engine/chassis for corrosion/bad connection.
The battery connections tight and
clean?
Good luck,
Kris

Dave,
Check to see if the
start wire has come off the starter motor. It will be a thin wire that
is connected to a flat terminal.

Subject: electric problem
having a bit of a problem with my
new daily driver...120Y Panel Van
when I went to start it this morning
I turned the key to acessories, all the dash lights came on, then when
I turned the key to start the motor there was nothing, no noise or
anything but all the dash lights went out till I released the
key.
I figured flat battery. the battery
has this little coloured light on it that is supposed to tell you how
charged it is. The light was bright green indicating 100% charge, but
I thought what the hell I'll put it on charge for a few hours anyway.
charged it for about 4 hours, battery still indicating 100% charge I
threw it back in. Same thing, nothing happens just lights go out
till I release the key. I roll started it down the driveway and went
for a cruise...while I was sitting at a set of lights I noticed the
face on the cd player going really dim, then when I gave it a rev it
lit up bright again. So I figured maybe the alternator. with the car
running I took the battery leads off and it kept running...so the
alternators charging.
any ideas guys?
Dave
