134921, 1999 eclipse (no crank condition)
Posted by kayd28eclipse, Aug-23-11 03:07 PM
Hi i searched and i cant seem to find anything that can help me with my issue. This is my second build. I did everything the same but I have a mysterious wiring issue.I have replaced the starter, and the relay for the starter which is behind the stereo. When i turn the key all the dash lights come on as normal, fuel pump turns on, but when i try to start all lights go out and the starter doesnt click. I have Good battery power and double checked all my grounds.(unless there is something inside the car i may be missing). The car has been swapped from an auto to a manual. It was setup to start without the clutch needing to be pressed. If i bypass the relay however (removing relay and using a wire to bypass) i can get the starter to click.
sorry if ive added to many details.Just trying to give the best description of whats going on. Also the relay on the firewall behind the battery (i think its the asd relay) is buzzing. Just in case im wrong it is the relay directly in the middle. Hopefully you guys can help me out :bowdown Thank you for taking the time to read.

I checked out the relay even swapped it with another one to check to see if it was the relay itself malfunctioning but every one i tried buzzed.

so when you bypass the relay the starter click or starts to turn over?

also have you looked for any open wires?

checked your connections?

ill do some research and see what i can figure out.

I would suggest to rewire that portion of the relay.
