1989 RR Classic Earth Fault?

Hallza said:

Hi,

I own a 1989 3.9 Vouge SE RR Classic, which ran really well until I lent it to a friend of mine :doh:

The outcome was the starter motor had given up, so I've fitted a recon starter motor but now the car's electrics are completely dead, no lights whatso ever

Is there a common earth point which fails with time due to corrosion? I've tried the search function but haven't found any suitable answers.

Many thanks for reading,

Hallza.

They have lots of earthing points. If you have no electrics at all I suspect an earthing point is the least of your worries.

Have you checked the positive terminal on the starter motor.....both the one from the battery and the one to the ignition switch n leccy system fasten on that terminal so they need to be free of road crap n grease in order to make good contact which each other too.

Also the earth lead off the starter is vital
