The push-connect small wire at the spade connector can corrode and cause issues Next check will the starter with a + wire to bypass the solenoid, if it turns then it's not the main earth (probably) or starter itself (probably) - likely then to be either the little wire that connects solenoid to starter.

pete12345 · Apr 10, 2021

I’ve put a new starter and solenoid on it s that wire that connects the two should be ok I will try and workout the direct wire from the battery I’m guessing to the starter and make sure it turns over

pete12345 · Apr 11, 2021

Checked dash no lights at all on it only light is key in ignition lite up and bleeping noises for door open and can here brake pump noise

Picture of wires on starter?

I assume it worked before you changed that starter?

pete12345 · Apr 11, 2021

It worked when I jumped the relay but that’s what blew the starter relay and then no power to the solenoid will test the wiring to starter but it must be something to The ignition now as no lights on binical

pete12345 · Apr 11, 2021

I’ve got a tester for wiring I’ve just checked the relay all good power to solenoid and power to main bolt but no green light to starter but I think that gets power when the key is turned

pete12345 · Apr 11, 2021

Fink I be calling that auto Electrian again any ideas what colour wires go to the dash binical mabey damage to one of them

pete12345 · Apr 11, 2021

Not very good pics but sure all connected properly

Have you checked the fuses on the becm, its got to be some thing simple like a fuse.

Mine did this last time i had the dash out, can only put it down to a dodgy connection behind the dash. Jiggled the plug and it's been perfect ever since
