front seat

I'm thinking of swapping out my front driver's seat for a 1999-2004 Lexus GS or LS sedan front seat. Currently own a 2003 GS300 that has probably the most comfortable driver's seat of any car I have owned. I'm not too concerned about making it fit, and bolting it in (I'll figure out a way to make it...

Re: engine won't crank

I found the problem. Engine was not grounded properly. There is a large grounding strap that is attached to the front of the passenger side cylinder head on one end, the other end is attached to the right inner fender sheetmetal. When I pulled the heads for the delete, had to disconnect the strap. I...

Re: engine won't crank

All correct. I'm definitely looking at the socket, not the relay. Top left is the hot terminal, but one of the diagrams has that terminal as #30, the other #87. Convinced now that the diagram #87 hot is bassackwards. Has to be.

Going to jumper 30 and 87 and will report back...

Re: engine won't crank

Fuse F8UA is good. Pull it, and power goes away from 30 (or is it 87?) I had the exact same thought as you, but in that case, both 30 AND 87 would be hot. Thanks for all the help guys. I have several different avenues to check this out when I get back to the car next week. Just want to be sure that ...

Re: engine won't crank

I agree with your suggestions completely, but once again am baffled by the fact that I have power at 87 but not 30. According to the diagram, should be the other way around. I understand that 30 and 87 are opposite poles of a switch. When there is continuity between the two, things happen. Same with...

Re: engine won't crank

I see re-manufactured AcDelco "Gold" unit made by Mitsubishi. Did that thing come with the solenoid attached? Did you replace the whole assembly together, or just the starter?

Re: engine won't crank

I did do your test 2, but was without help and so had to rig my multimeter and jumper wire to the connector that goes to the solenoid. Turned the key and did not see 12V but not sure I had my jumper wire inserted far enough into the connector. Have to wait until next week to try again - car is at ou...

engine won't crank

So my car won't start (2012 9C1). Since I have owned the car (about 3 years) it has always turned over slowly when starting, but would always fire up. After extended down time (due to my being constantly distracted while doing DOD delete) I finally started the car for the first time in nearly a year...
