Check Fuse 14 (20A)

 

Other possibilities are F13 (3A), F16 (20A) and F32 (3A)

Also check the smaller wires haven't broken off on battery terminals.

Hi Dave I also have 97 2.3 gia X, when I bought her the battery was loose and had been sliding side to side, this had messed up the small wires on battery terminals, I had poor connectors on end of wires and had to re-solder them, even lost window wipers because terminal on battery had come loose, so your problem could be one of the terminals.

^{cheers, ive checked all the electrics near the battery. everything else works}

^{are there any hidden fuses or relays?}

Now he says.... :glare:

 

No, info was for 98->00 models.

 

Well.... today I'm just not in the mood.... :P

[Dave Dodd]

thanks and sorry... lol.. but i assumed it was 98 as its a R reg..

Ive a main power coming in to relay 30 but have no switched power to it..

Have you checked/probed the wires on the back of ignition switch.

[seatkid]

Check F18 (10A)

 

Otherwise it looks like an ignition switch/wiring problem.

 

Also worth check if any of the smaller wires have not broken off the positive battery terminal.

[Dave Dodd]

thanks guys, for your replies..

 

i have check all the wires at the back of the ignition switch, tested okay and also traced them back the fuse box, where they tested okay. have also tried a different fuse box.

 

do you happen to know what the pin number is for the switched live on relay 30 or the wire colour? then i may be able to trace that to a possible break.

 

cheers for your help so far :)

Can't be sure but I think the power side (contacts) of the relay are RED +12v in and Black/Yellow out.

 

I think the +12v power from the battery goes through fuse(s) in the Battery junction box, which is located forward of the battery.

 

There are several live feeds from the battery +ve terminal via small gauge wires and several members have had wires broken from the crimped connectors (or nor reconnected after major work).

[Dave Dodd]

thanks, have checked everything, as far as i can see..

 

have now tried by passing the the relay and do get ignition light and indicators :) but wont start :(

 

does this relay power up anything else?
