Well hell. Got myself a new battery, tested the voltage in a few places-at brain using the 3 prong lead, at starter) tried to check from ignition to brain while cranking, but couldn't figure out which post it was.
Installed Nippondenso starter (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-911-MINI-STARTER-IMI-PORSCHE-912-914-% 20930_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33576QQihZ012QQitemZ220006680668QQrdZ1QQsspagen ameZWDVW) Thanks Dr. Evil... Checked voltage, always hot, made sure everything was plugged into the right place... yes. Got lots of lights and a damn loud stereo volume, but not even a click from the starter. Just.... nothing, zip, nada. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Dude, what's up with my car? |

Here's a diagram I drew of the starter a while back....
You can put a spade connector on a long piece of 10ga wire, plug it on to the starter in place of the yellow wire, and with the car out of gear, touch it to the positive battery post. If it cranks, then you have a problem with the start circuit in the wiring harness. Is this a 74? If so, check the big brother relay under the passenger seat. |

In Clay's diagram, the yellow wire connects to the right side of the solenoid. IN my photo the right side spade is a double connection. Is that the 'right' one? Thanks Attached thumbnail(s) |
