I got a ex with a standard trans. For some reason the starter will not crank. If I jump the solenoid the starter will work just fine. So far I have checked the following:
- Battery is charged and is good
- Neutral safety switch is working properly (We even bypassed it, no change0
- Ignition starter relay is good
- Replaced the starter as it sounds like it had a bunch of marbles in it
- Cleaned the battery terminals and cables
- I have continuity from the battery to the starter solenoid
- Checked and starter is getting 12 volts
This one has me stumped. The only other thing I can think of is the ECU but I am trying to avoid the "just start replacing parts" scenario to fix it. Any idea's would be appreciated. Once this one gets figured out I will definitely post the solution.
