What do you mean,when you say,wont turn over?do you mean it wont start,or do you mean the engine will not rotate when you try and start it.

[billy123]

it wont turn over whots so ever .u turn the key and theres nowt there i have the uasal lights on dash ect so i no there power there .it puzzleing me as it started last week and i did a dio test with snap on and now it wont communicate so im stuck. also i cant here fuel pump and is fuse 30 main power fuse for the dianostic port and ecu

Have a look at the black on red wire on the starter solenoid,see if it is in place.Is the battery ok?Try starting in N or P

[billy123]

battery ok .starter leads ok took off cleaned them .and tryed in p/n
and just noticed my power roof switch wont work theres no power going to it so somthnk telling me its a relay but wich one is the main power

[kenney]

The starter inhibitor and reversing light relay and the sliding sunroof switch,have one common thing and that is the ignition switch.Do the reversing lights work?

[billy123]

yes the reverse lights work
its wierd this iv no power to soft top switch .no power to obd and cant here fuel pump.and engine wont spin

[kenney]

You can try and bridge the red wire and the black wire on the ignition switch.

[billy123]

i cant see if that would work as iv no power going to above Qs

[kenney]

What do you mean above Q's

[billy123]

no power to soft top switch/no communication to ecu /fuel pump

[kenney]

i cant see if that would work as iv no power going to above QsIt is the bloody ignition switch that delivers the power

[billy123]
