Starter issue.....
Got an unusual starter issue that has reared its head a couple of times now...
Try to start with the key, everything lights up as it should, but starter wont turn, jump pack, still the same issue...
Remove the small start wire from the starter motor, connect that terminal to the battery jump post in the engine compartment fuse box, it turns over instantly.... Ok, its something on the ignition switch side, BUT.....
Turn the key again and it starts up with no issue....
When it was in its 'fault state i tried a different main relay, that made no difference, cycled the auto selector, no difference, the only thing that did it was spinning the starter motor by hotwiring it, and all was well...
Most odd
I shall probably order up a starter relay (the one hidden with the computers above the sub) just for peace of mind... Even thoni checked that during first lockdown!
