I posted about this previously and thought I found the problem but that ended up not fixing it. Short, sweet version:
I6, manual transmission, 2004
I turn the key and the dash lights up, but no sound. No clicking, no crank. Silence. After a few second one small click can be heard from engine compartment.
I have done the following:
- tested starter in all manners and it is fine.
- battery has sufficient voltage.
- voltage to starter sufficient
- replaced starter relay
- checked and cleaned related fuses behind glove box and in PDC
- put 20a fuse in bottom left slot behind glove box for clutch safety override.
- took apart ignition, actuator pin busted so figured that must be it. Replaced actuator and ignition switch. Didn't solve it.
- checked grounding strap connections at the hood, body, and engine block. All good.
Is there a way to bypass ignition at the ignition harness with a wire or something? Or other way to check that wires from harness to battery and starter are good to see if there is still something wrong with the ignition?
Any other ideas would be great. Thanks!
