Car wont crank

[donny76]

First i want to thank everybody for there help in the past! I have a 90 teg with a 5 speed, it was running great now it wont crank, battery is good, all fuses are good just no power to the starter. I replaced the clutch pedal switch with a USED one. Is there any way to by-pass this switch? Anything else i should be looking for? THANKS!!

how do you know the battery is good?

 

[90DATeg]

maybe it can be your main relay

 

[donny76]

load tested the battery its good.

i'm a newb where is the main relay? and how can i check it?

I'm pretty sure if it was the main relay, the car would still crank. Try a new battery, at least to rule it out.

check your signal wire on the starter

 

[donny76]

checked the signal wire. no power going to it.

 

[red98teg]

then your losing power somewhere after your battery...

 

[Cheesenip]

you probably have a wire thats broken.

I like how noone rules out the starter =/ He said he was a noob =P

 

[90DATeg]

the main relay is under your steering column its a brown box, but i could be wrong it might not be the main relay

If it we're MFR it would still crank.

clean off all corrosion around battery terminals and look for any damaged wires around the battery.

What?

I was going to suggest the starter but I wanted to let all the other basics be covered first.

Is that what you meant?

even with a bad starter, he should still get power to it. Thats why I suggested a bad/broken wire.
