Moderator Airhead Posted April 22, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2009 checked them all and they all fine dont suppose you have any other suggestions If you are happy with the connections you could try bridging the heavy duty connections on the starter relay, use something that will take a big current such as a battery jump lead, if the starter motor turns ok then the starter relay must be at fault if not then the starter motor is at fault.

Moderator Airhead Posted April 23, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2009 its definetly my starter motor as nothing happens when i bridge it but i carnt even get the starter off now lol so just confirm that it has two heavy duty connectors and you bridged those. also connect a jump lead from battery negative to an engine mounting bolt, just to eliminate a bad earth fault.
