Starter motor fuse location


Recommended Posts

Last week I got in the car to start it and there was power to everything and battery volts fine, but no action from starter motor at all. It worked perfectly up until the moment it didn't work at all - which was 30 minutes after parking the car. Before I pull everything apart to check the actual starter I am trying to eliminate other possibilities, the wiring diagram attached shows a 10A fuse in the starter circuit but I cant find its location. I have already tried jumpering the relays.

 

Any ideas?

Ok, i realised its not the fuse because the relays had power, decided to bite the bullet and pull the starter motor. Decided I could get the inlet manifold off without doing the valve covers, (saves a lot of time & work), once I had done that I was able to check the starter motor, seems like the solenoid has failed to me, but having got this far I decided to pull the whole starter out and replace it.

 

Managed to get the starter out without removing the coolant pipes which I would have thought was impossible if I had not read of one person who had managed to do it.

 

Getting it back in will be the real test I reckon!
