Click, click.... goes the relay on the fender when I turn the key.
It's not the engine ground, I upgraded it and tested it today with jumper cables to the battery.
It's not a fuse, I tested every one with a multi meter.
It's not the starter, that's what i thought it was and bought a new one.
It's not the battery, fairly new and fully charged, and a jump box had the same result.
It's not the relay on the fender, it's defiantly working as it should.
I think it's the small wire going to the starter mounted solenoid. I had removed my new starter and using jumper cables connected to the cable post and body for ground. I jumpered the positive to the small connector and the starter spun freely. With the starter installed, I get 9.7v on the small wire when I turn the key to start.
I thought the small wire went to the fender mounted relay, but I guess i'm wrong as my testing suggests that wire (on the relay) gets 12v not gives 12v. I don't know where the other end of the small starter wire terminates, or how to test it.
Can any one help please?
