Ignition relay
Hi all,
been wiring the engine today so hopefully all correct (cheers for the diagrams Ash). After a few initial problems I managed to turn the engine - positive and neg connected and a live feed from the battery (in place of the ignition switch). Problem being when i connect the ignition feed up and turn the ignition nothing happens. Looking at the relay - seems i've been a bit heavy handed when reducing the loom (removing excess) and I think the relay is kaput! Will bypassing the relay and putting in a starter button (but still retaining the ignition switch for IVA) have any long term effects?? |

I had my concerns when I did it (obviously i didn't know what it supplied, just thought it was one of those i was trying to remove).
Just been out and shorted the relay terminals, tried the ignition and it turned with no overheating,sparks etc. So I can't see why i cannot just substitute for a push button (heavy duty of course). We'll see, i'll standby to be corrected.:) Wonder what else 've cut out?????????? |
Theres no relay for the starter.
Except on later cars where it was an imobaliser relay. TT |
Book says there is, fuse box as one, tested and all wires (ones left) connect with the ignition switch, battery and start solenoid.
Tested relay - no readings. Its a J plate, did have immobiliser - removed it. |
What relay are you looking at, if it's XII then that's the Imobaliser/ Auto Inhibit relay.
This was not present on pre-90 none automatic cars and uses a jumper bar to short terminals 86 and 87 in the relay position. You can either hunt in the scrappy for one of the jumper bars, or connect the terminals with a flying lead. Or connect them via a conceled kill switch for added theft prevention. TT |
TT,
not wanting to question ur knowledge but the book does say ignition relay. I removed the hybrid system and the immobiliser (after market one). Was thinking of a starter button but the kill switch sounds better then I can hide it.:D |
i haven't got a relay on mine it just comes straight off the ignition switch. take some pictures and post them up please.
|
I,ve used a kill switch ( red key thingy :o ),
it can also be explained that it is part of the required second anti theft device for IVA. cheers andy |

The ignition relay is for the IGNITION fed systems and not for the starter. TT |
