    I will not start

    Hello D-ONES

    I have owned my 97 d-1 for 12 months (first rego in march 98 built 97 with 163.000 when i brought it ) and have put 37000 Ks on it since then, it has run and towed my van with out a problem, sorry new air flow meter from England 2 months after i brought it. New problem wont start got out at shop got back in nothing at all. Checked everything and power to everthing but will not turn over. I cleaned the wires on starter and still nothing.

    Is the starter clicking?,when you say power to everything do you have more than 12volts?.Sounds like the battery is dead or the earth from the battery. Pat

    Don't take this the wrong way but is it an auto not in park/neutral?

    Simple test I use for batt test is headlights on, turn key...
    Lights dull to next to no light...Batt U/S
    Lights dull a little but stay constant(often with starter "clunk")..Starter soliniod.
    Lights don't change...In the wiring somewhere(Try the Auto switch,relay,ign ect).

    Good luck.
    Cheers, Kyle

    Are you getting all your pretty dash lights?
    Might be in the ignition lock if not.
    Could be a starter relay if you are.

    Turn the key and the lights dont change, all dash lights are there fuel pumps runs, is this the start of DICSO HELL i hear about. Well it looks like a bit off wire from starter to reach the battery to start the car to get it home only 165 klm away half a tank and caravan might make it without a stop.
    THANKS to everyone for your help. ( Where would we be without a laptop )

    Where would the starter relay be.

    On my 94 & 96 V8I the starter relay is behind the RH footwell, very bottom row in the middle, it should be yellow & next to a green relay,
    Swap it with the yellow one next to it (at the front toward the firewall) & see if it turns over,

    The relay is what my money is on
