hi please help trying to fix my car the now its a s2 erst the car is going for a setup on saturday and now decides it doesnt want to start the problem is there is no dash lights when i put the ignition on the full pump doesnt run or anything has anyone ever seen this before? any help would be much appreciated

 

Tighten your battery terminals

EDIT to say i am actually being serious aswell!

 

have you check the battery voltage, mite be a bad earth

 

just charged the battery terminals are tight will go and test the voltage right now and let youz know thanks for the help is there any fuses for this ?

 

just tested the battery 12.6 volts the car does crank over when turning the key just no fuel pump working or dash light

 

wing where about is it common for a bad earth ? the engine has just been put in but i think we did put all the earths back on

 

Dodgy relay or a fuse then i expect

 

what relay would you think safechav cheers for the help so far

 

One of the yellow relays in the fuse box

 

ill give that a go thanks for that

 

tried that with the relays but no joy can anyone think of anything else?

 

Have you checked all the fuses yet?

 

I had the same problem with my rs turbo the other day mate. Went into a petrol garage and turned it off then when i tried to re-start it there was just nuthin! The problem was one of the ignition relays which is under the bit of plastic under the steering wheel (dont no what to call it). try taking it of and check all the connections under there! i gave a few of them a move around and it was back to normal! Worth a go mate!

 

sounds possible that its an immobilizer problem!?

i know RST dave off here had an issue, as some immobilize the fuel pump,
and all the ancilleries, so dash lights indicators ETC

 

No ignition relays under the dash on a ERST, im guessing you have an FRST?

Typically cliffords that do this

 

hi thanks for all the replys safechav have checked all the fuses all ok, i dont have indicators either but do have hazzord lights ive got rear lights and parking light, the lights from the dash im missing are the handbrake light and oil light and that and the original story with the fuel pump not really that sure where to go from now thanks alot

 

That does sound like an alarm issue as said above......usually you would lose a whole load of things, you appaear only to of lost circuits that are commonly in the immobilistaion circuits.

 

ok thanks for the help on this looks like its time to phone the auto spark in does anyone know any good ones in scotland?

 

nah mate ive got an escort rst. i must have been talking about one of the other wires under there, just i thought it was an ignition relay!
i just had a play around with some of the connections under there and all my ignition lights came on!

 

ill give that a try do anything now to get it going lol

 

Just sounds lucky then mate, no ignition relays up there
