    P38 diesel wont turn over

    Did you manage to get this sorted, sounds like the same problem for me. I managed to get it started by removing the cover on relay 16 starter motor and turned ignition on and pressed relay contact and it started. It just does not start on the key so just have to find out what it is now.

    starter motor not turning over

    Funny thing this morning I put the meter on the terminals and it was reading 14.45v, when door opened it dropped down a bit and when ignition turned on it went rapidly down to 11.87v. The battery is a yuasa cargo 115ah 1000a. I will put it on charge and see.

    starter motor not turning over

    Sorry should have put this in last time, when ignition turned over voltage shows 0.02v on this terminal (eyelet terminal). When ignition off should the big cable on the solenoid have volts in it (it shows 11.89v) when ignition off.

    starter motor not turning over

    Checked terminals, battery and starter all ok. put meter on starter solenoid with ignition OFF and there is 11.8 volts there, is that correct.
