Starter Power Unraveled Unlocking the Secrets of Engine Ignition

If there is no power to the small solenoid wire then you need to test the starter relay, the contacts inside the relay could be dirty. It's starter motor is rated at 0.5 hp. That's roughly 30 amps when it's cranking. And about 70 amps for 1 second to start it spinning. It takes ... When you look at the left side of the fuse box there are two vertical rows of mini fuses, it is the fourth down from the top on the first row ... no power going to any of the leads on the ignition relay? if not... then probably an ignition switch... (end edit) check the ignition relay ... I'm getting 12V power in every spot on the starter relay except the one going to the trigger wire (with key turned to start). Even pulled the PDC apart and ... The live terminal on the battery is connected by a heavy lead to a terminal on the solenoid switch which is operated when the ignition switch is turned. The ... It has to be one of two things. Either the wire from the relay to the starter is shorted to a live wire, or constant power is being supplied to the relay from ... No crank, slow crank and stuck starter solenoid problems have the same root causes – low battery voltage and poor connections. The common starting problems in preludes are related to the main relay and the immoblizer, either of which will still allow the motor to crank ... the starter circuit is battery powers the starting switch which powers the solenoid on the starter which then feeds battery power to the starter ...
