rekab69 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi, my TD5 110 only starts when I wiggle the ignition switch, turn it full, then release it slightly. I thought it was the ignition switch unit so just changed it for another one and still the same problem... I can hear lots of clicking/relays...etc, should I start to check these...? thanks in advance db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 IIRC the Td5's have a relay, energised by the ignition switch, that controlls the starter. Soo.... if the relay is clicking (each time you turn the key), i'd get a voltmeter, and measure the voltage at the spade connection on the starter solenoid. If you get a good 12v (or so) on each "turn of the key", i'd go for the starter itself (well, the solenoid at least, althought probably better to change the whole starter) If the 12v is intermittant in relation to each turn of the key, then i'd plump for the relay, but 9 times out of ten it'll be the starter. Made by Lego i think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Read this it may well be the cause if the switch is ok (though it does sound like the switch!) http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=12088 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
