    Starter wiring diagram car won't crank

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Go to start motor for first time and nothing. Turn the key no crank no clicks nada. I checked the grounding on the starter looks fine, checked the clutch and even bypassed it still nothing. I don't have my Bentley so I tried tracing the signal wire from the starter but lost it in a bundle. Anybody know where the starter solenoid is located or have a wiring diagram or what I should try next lol

    Do you still have the diagram I sent you a while back? The starter circuit is in there. 1st off just double check the 1 pin connector on the starter

    yeah I do and what do you mean by 1 pin connecter. I only see two connections to the starter and they are bolted on, one on the left from the battery and one of the right which goes to the alternator.

    Also I am pretty confused why all of a sudden it stopped working because when I took the motor out I left the starter in place just hanging and didnt touch any of the wiring lol. Could it be an immobilizer thing because I had to take my ecu out of my car to get flashed?

    If you look at the diagram I am talking about T1d. Its a 1 pin black connector that should connect to or near the starter somewhere. Its the terminal 50 (start) signal to the starter. Without it the starter will not crank

    Yeah I assume thats the signal wire I am pretty sure that is connected fine but I will double check now. I might try to bypass with a direct wire to the battery to see if the problem is related to the starter relay. Is there anything else I can do besides that are there any fuses or relays I can check?

    I don't know off the top of my head where(or which on the relay carrier) the relay is exactly. I need to check a different diagram and ELSA is down right now (weekly maintenance) I will keep checking periodically and post back when it comes up.

    1(1.1,1.2) in this pic is where the starter interlock relay is (according to what Im finding in ELSA) Its located in the ECM box. You may also wanna check the emergency fuse which is right at the + battery terminal. Hope this helps!
