gbmoto Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi All I have just replaced the bulkhead on my 12j powered 90. This of course resulted in removing pretty much all the wiring. All is now back together after a few months (slow I know... ) Everything seems to be working except when I fully turn the key....no starter action...just a click from the brake warning relay. Battery is fully charged and the hefty cables from the ignition switch all seem to be in place. My first move I guess is to jump from battery to starter to see if that hasn't seized ...haven't done that yet. Anything else I should look out for? Only found this at close of play yesterday and cannot check it out till next weekend.... just having an early shout out :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 is the white/red trace wire connected to the spade terminal on the starter solenoid. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My MG starter sometimes needs a knock from a BFH when I take it out for a first run in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbmoto Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ta for the reply's chaps, yes the red white is connected. But have just realized mine used to be a 19j and has a starter relay. So have more wires to check and could be a dodgy relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cchase Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 There is a really good, easy to find, You Tube video on how to check relays. You just need a battery and a couple of wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbmoto Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 It was the earth to the Starter Relay. Odd as it should earth through the loom and it was the only thing not working. But have run a separate earth and all is good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
