None starter

Hi everyone
I've got a discovery 2 td5
Had a key snap in the ingintion. So took barrel off to work on the bench. Dissconected 3 wires. Got the piece of key out. Put all back together. Now won't crank over. Got all dash lights and fuel pump is working.but not starting. Anyone help plz

Hi. What if you give an unlock command with the fob then turn ignition to crank? ... didnt you disturb the connection of the remobilisation exciter coil ?

I unplugged all 3 wires on ingintion. Not sure what you mean by unlock. Sorry

Click to expand...

and did you plug them back?
Push the unlock button on the fob

All plugged back in. Plus tryed different pushing of key fob still nothing. All lights on the dash. And fuel pump going. But no starter

So dont you hear anything when you crank it? not even a click? the red LED on dash is out ? It's only about unlock on the fob not other actions

Not the starter. Cause was working before I dissconected the barrel. Light flashing fast then every 2 second or so. Put key in to start light goes out. But no turning of starter motor

I undersood what's going on. If you are sure you didnt miss anything when you refitted the barrel check the harness on the switch which is attached to it's back. It's possible hat the crank wire to be loosened or something or the barrel's shaft doesnt turn tthe swicth enough

OK will try tomorrow as not near the truck at mo. Cheers for your help. Let you know if sorted

If no joy release the switch(pic), insert a flat head screwdriver in the slot and turn it with that to max, if still no crank see if the white/red wire at it's back is well connected... the fob must be close the the remobilisation coil(which is around the barrel) when you do that, evenually make sure that the coil is well connected...you can also try to bridge the brown and white/red wires just to make sure the circuit is OK

I've try putting screwdriver in and still no cranking.

Then bridge the brown - white/red wires with a piece of wire and if still no joy it's something coincidental, check the spade connector on th starter solenoid

OK will try tomorrow
