V6 4x4 Not Starting

[garry]

R reg V6 4x4 galaxy not starting,

tryed using key to lock/unlock without remote. no joy

Usual dashboard lights come on but the car won't start at all, . Tried using the red key to start but again nothing.

i drove the car to santa pod on saturday it was fine all the way down parked up i even moved it, but when it camw time to shopping nothing no warning nothing

 

i have look though some of the post about the same problem and the one thats makes sence is the relay but i cant find the No 30 relay any where can anyone help other ideas as well

thanks

try putting your foot on the brake turning the key to position 3

and holding it there whilst pushing button on the gearstick and

just slowly moving it down or try starting it neutral position

there is an isolator swith on the gearstick to stop you starting it

unless its in park or neutral and can be adjusted but ford just tell you

to replace them ? when you turn the ignigtion on you should here it

click by the gearstick ?

You have checked the battery of course..... :rolleyes:

 

Are you saying the starter motor doesnt turn?

 

Then have been a number of posts lately which turned out to be a duff starter motor.

Immobiliser doesnt stop starter motor.

 

Either your starter motor is duff, wiring, ignition switch or fuse for the starter solenoid.

 

Or those neon lights are too much for the battery......... :lol:

[garry]

on the ECU the Immobiliser was a problem but the isolator swith on the gearstick needs replaceing as well should have her back 2morrow hopfully

i have had words with the garage today they have install the parts and still nothing.....

 

they are telling me that when you turn the key to p3 there is no power from the key to the starter motor..... anyone have any ideas plz

Can't be much of a garage to sort this one... :blink:

 

Is this an 4 x 4 automatic?

 

You're down to ignition switch, wiring, fuse or isolator switch (wiring to or adjustment of)

 

You do realise that automatics have to be in N or P and (IIRC) have the foot on the brake to start?

[garry]

yes its the V6 4x4 auto

 

isolator switch has been changed

they think its a wireing fault its not a ford garage they do subaru`s for a living but i trust them...

the fuses seem to be ok

 

is there a relay on that wireing loom that could have gone if so where..

[garry]

the garage say its fixed yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

 

when i find what it was i will post a full report and ill let you know the cost ;) :D

[garry]

:16: got the gal back shes running ok..

i asked the garage what the problem was but they will not tell me they just say its fixed and should be ok now..

its was either very simple to fix or very hard and they dont want to give it away..

and for this i had to pay

[seatkid]

In which case its obvious they fitted the wrong isolator switch or connected it up wrong.

 

Scoobydoobydoo!! ;) :D :16:
