wagoneer Posted July 16, 2022 Report Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) So I’ve done it, I decided to rewire Elise (48 Windsor) (engine bay side) as part of my alternator upgrade, and I go to start it and … nothing . I do continuity tests … continuous. Except I think it’s too continuous. I check across the starter button and it’s continuous both ways. Check button alone and continuous only with button down. Somethings not right…. when I turn the key with battery connected nothing turns on (lights, fuel pump, etc) . help on how to debug this wiring hell one postscript- I jumped the starter solenoid port for the starter button with a cable and the solenoid starts moving but nothing else moves… should have tried to at least spin the engine right? I just finished putting it all together and I really don’t want to take it all apart to replace the starter…. Edited July 16, 2022 by wagoneer Quote
