Frustrating Starting Problems

[jasper]

Following my posting on March 20, I have an update from the garage. They have aknowledged my complaint at thier un profesional approach in replacing parts and hoping it solves the problem. They now 'think' yes , still only 'think' its the fuse board, based on similiar problems with other Gals. Only problem fuse board will cost in excess of

thanks very much for the good news on the price of a new fuse board. i also have the same problem. but with a push on the fuse board it does start.

Sounds like a simple connection problem and should be easily cured with a bit of soldering/ cleaning. Why replace an entire assembly when the old one can be repaired? Perhaps an independent auto electrician could help?

I dont believe it!!!!!!!

Update on my starting problems, garage started to replace the fuse board and found a faulty power relay, they very humbly have not charged me and are writing to offer some form of redit note for all the parts they have replaced.

Its so frustrating as based on the advice given by your goodselves on this forum I had asked several times if they had checked the relays.

 

Thanks agian for the advice

following a push to fuse board.it finally gave up the ghost. fault traced to a dodgy relay (not sure of number ) but man in fords of exmouth said its a common fault . car seems to be working at present. the fault is some where in the starting side.
