Hi to all,
Newbie to the forum. Hoping to get some advice to get my 90Q back on the road!! Any and all help appreaciated!!

Turn key and all acc. come on but no energizing of the starter. I took starter off and had it checked and it showed bad. Replaced starter. Turn key and same thing, everything works except the starter. I jumpered accross posts on starter to make sure I had power to it and spun, so power was there. Checked the voltage on the wire to the solonoid with key activated and got about 2 volts. Common sense tells me that somewhere between the ignition switch and the starter is a relay or something that is not alloying voltage to get to starter. I can not find a starter relay, if it has one! Any words of wisdom?? I am also trying to find a repair manual for this car as well.

Thanks
Cozmor

 

Sounds like your on the right path ... check all the grounds also .... and there is a starter relay somewhere

 

There is a starter relay, ether under the stering wheel, or the fuse box. Check fuses first.

 

Any idea where the relay might be? Which fuse? Thanks for the responses!! kakarot, nice page. Good pics. Looks like my 90!!

Thanks

check pin B12 from the ECU it goes to the starter motor inhibitor

I narrowed it down to the ignition switch. Going to replace this weekend. I hope that solves the mystery.
Along that line, can I change out the switch without tearing down the steering wheel and the dash? The manual is a little confusing. Anyone had any experience changing switch out? The electrical part only, not the keyed cylinder.

Thanks

I replaced the ignition switch and same thing!! Turn key and all assy come on, but no starter activity!! I am at my witts end!! Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

well you could by-pass the whole comotion with a push button start

 

now how cool would that be definitely worth it

 

I think I will try that!! One side of button to starter (solonoid), other side of button to battery, is that correct?

Thanks
Cozmor
