My 92 mk3 won't start!! and i'm baffled?
« on: 03 May 2007, 16:34 »
I've drawn a blank and really need some advise!!
Not so long ago i took a look at the back of my fusebox in the hope of finding a loose connection which would fix my central locking.
What i found was an absolute mess, with wires cut, connections missing, exposed wires, 2 alarm systems and an emobiliser that were semi atatched and didn't work!
Undetered i riped out the alarms and imobiliser and patched up the wiring best i could!
It didnt fix anything, but at the same time it didn't break anything either, accept for that is, the temperature light on the dash boared would constantly flash whenever the car was started.
So yesterday i decided to have another look, could see no loose conections and just put it back.
But now my car won't start and i have no idea whats happened?
I'm almost certain it has something to do with the fuse box, because it started perfectly before and that's the only thing i've played with!
I've checked all the fuses and there fine, i 've checked for any wires that i might have pulled out and i can't find anything.

All ideas welcome as i'm at a loss :huh:

When you say it wont start, does it turn over?

Maybe there is still some part of the imobilisers that has started working again?

It doesn't turn over and i didnt remove or replace any wires.
Is there a relay i should check?

If it wont turn over then you must have dislogded a main wire!
You will have to trace the main wires from battery to ignition and then to starter solenoid.

I knew it had to be a dodgy wire/connection as that is THE main primary system in the car and is entirely seperate.
