Yesterday my starter just up and stopped working after lunch, and i haven't had any luck in finding the problem. Here are the steps i've taken so far:
-Rebuilt starter solenoid
-took 12v + strait from the battery to the signal plug on starter, and the starter worked.
-jumped the clutch cutout switch, starter still would not engage with the key
-jumped the ignition switch, starter still would not engage
-checked starter signal fuse, it looked good but i replaced it anyway, still no start.
So, at some point i am loosing signal power to the starter, but i have absolutely no idea where else to check. I was under the impression that the only things that could fail power wise were the ignition switch and clutch cutout, obviously this isn't true so someone please direct me in the right direction!! push starting is a royal drag....... Thanks guys,
Edit: I forgot to mention that my alarm has a starter kill function. Actually, i forgot about it myself until a few minutes ago. Now that i've remembered that i'm almost certain it must have something to do with it, but i have absolutely NO IDEA how the alarm is wired, or even where the components are located. I know it has a clear box with a blinking red light under the dash, but thats all i can find. How would i go about bypassing this starter kill function? i beleive the alarm is the DEI viper 100ESP
