Hello all,
ive got a 1996 range rover
I have had an issue with my starter motor relay or the wiring going to it, and I am stumped. About a week ago my car wouldnt turn over in the key start position. I got it towed home
Currently:
-With the starter relay out and the key in accessories on position, i can start the car with a jumper wire across terminal 3 to 5 of the starter relay
-With someone holding the key in car start position, using a voltage tester, I can measure 12v across the terminals 1 to 2 of the relay
-I have 3 different starter relays (one old AMR and two new YWB all of them yellow) and none of them work in the car (even though one of them is brand new)
so what could it be that prevents the car from starting with the relay in but allows the relay to be jumped with a wire and still measures 12v when cranking across ports
thanks for the help guys, im trying to get this thing back on the road
