Grant. Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi all, Just done a clutch change on a td5, put it all back together, and now, got nothing on the key (starter position), the charge light glows a bit,(but not like normal) and the oil pressure light isnt on. I can short across the starter motor to get it to turn over, but nothing else(as in, it wont run). i dont get a click from the starter motor relay either. Anybody got any ideas as to what ive done wrong? Thanks very much in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 oh, and ive swapped relays around, to eliminate that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101sean Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Does sound like the main relay under the seat but you say you've checked it. Has to be related to the clutch change, go back methodically over all the wires and loom to check you haven't forgotten or trapped something. Did you put the earth cable back on the tbox? Do a thorough check and report back, hopefully it will be running and you'll have found something embarrassingly simple you missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 No... Didn't check that one under the seat, only the one in the middle... Thought that was it? Not sure about the oil light fault. And yea. That's on. Also put a large lead straight from the starter casing to the earth of the battery to see if that cured if. But still nowt!

Grant. Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Oh... And neglected to mention, the dash has been out aswell. But can't find anything there wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Check the plug on the cut off switch (inertia switch) make sure its properly connected and/or not damaged and check that the switch itself hasn't been knocked (press the button down) Its possible you've pulled on the loom.

Off Road Toad Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Also check the 10as unit thats buried in the dash to make sure thats plugged in properly (they aren't the most reliable LR item either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy andy. Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Have you connected small earth that goes onto transfer box mount. Check for damaged loom at rear of engine, top of bell housing. Also check loom over the top of boxes before it enters under seat box. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Earths drfinately on. Checked the loom. Can't see any damage. Even put a jumplead from the negative terminal on the battery to the starter to eliminate that. I thought it might be the 10as. Read somewhere there was a way of shorting it out? To bypass it?

pigster Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 what about the crank sensor - is that still alive - - I know I broke my one when I swapped it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant. Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Would the engine still crank though? Or will that stop everything? Worth swapping with another one. The box did take some serious persuasion to move... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The engine will still crank even with the CPS not attached (i spent 3 days cranking mine before figuring out i hadn't plugged it in ) You can bypass the 10as unit but you need to get the ECM modified too or it'll still look for the 10as.

Grant. Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Progress update... Ive chased the wiring through, and tested lots and realised that the starter relay isn't earthing out. I've heard that the 10as unit has something to do with the earthing of the relay? Still no oil light, and a dim charge light. However I reckon there not related. Any ideas people?
