Legacy 92 turbo wont start after put it on my garage

[yazmo]

yea i got this happen i put the car in my garage no heated one for 5 month winter etc...
then i try to start this 2 day ago , nothing no click at all while i turn the key.
i have remove the starter and bench test it and its woking

i suspect maybe the wire that turn the starter on to do not contact with the solenoid correctlt but not sure.
what else could do that bad fuel pump???

but i would hear a click what so ever right?

ignitor?

any thought guy

[Overclocked]

Have you checked the battery..?

[thewaterboy]

Check the fusible link in the bay's fuse box

[yazmo]

i have brand new battery i also have check fuse and relay with a know working one.
As for fusible link what do yo mean by that the wire thing in the fuse box?
kinda weird car was working perfectly fine seem like humidity can do really bad thing
i am still trying to point out the problem

along the way i broke the coolant reservoir tank : (
can i still try to crank the engine even if coolant is disconnected just to check if the car start, i am expecting coolant squirt somehow!! thx for the help


PS: i have no light working beside the parking light, anyone know where the engine is grounded?

[thewaterboy]

Yup, the wire in the fuse box

You say you have a new battery, but you don't mention if the battery was new 5 months ago or that you just went and bought a new battery. Have you tried to jump start the car? Have you checked the battery for voltage? If you want to see if ignition is the problem, you can jump the two contacts at the starter while the ignition is in the on position to start the car, make sure it's in neutral.

As far as the coolant reservoir, yes you can start it and yes coolant is going to go everywhere, but don't let it run for too long or things will blow up

I still have that wrx tank for 50 shipped, or a stock turbo legacy with nothing broken for 75 shipped.

thx for the info battery is working fine its new and was on my forester 2004 xt
for the ignition its will be my next check up

there is a small wire that do the click to turn the starter on and off which seem to have some sort a gum on it.

it is so small and difficult to access its going inside the car in the dash, i dont know how ima going to clean it or where else i can find that part, its go on the solenoid on the black rectangle on the starter.

i just hope its dint get to much humidity and the problem is worst than that.
i also send you a pm for the reservoir

i got a harmness from a 94 turbo, in case can i swap it without any trouble? you guy know?

and i would like to say this

this forums is awesome i always happy to see this community helping luv you all of you guy

[cj91legss]

That small wire is your starter signal wire. Taking it off and cleaning it may help. The gum is electrical grease, you can get pretty cheap and a parts store.

If you turn the ignition on and jump that small tab to the battery your car should start.

You mention you only have parking lights. Can you clarify this? If you only have parking lights, you may have some other electrical issues which may also be the cause of your starting issues.

i have no light outside or inside the dash, i have the some as i turn the key on the ding bip.
beside of that nothing

i need to check if i have voltage on the maf sensor and other accessible sensor to see if i can get 5 volt on them
if not its maybe come from the ecu right?
i know for sure that the starter work fine, battery is good.

i have a 94 turbo ecu from my old one, but the car we speaking of is a 92 is there any difference in the connection can it be swap without problem?

[Legacy777]

I would check if the ECU is getting power.

[yazmo]

and how to i do this exactly is there any procedure around this awesome forum?

[Legacy777]

Connector B48, pins 2 & 13 bring power to the ECU. You can use these diagrams to make sure you have the correct pins.

You would then need a multimeter to back probe those pins to check if there is power when the key is in the ON position.

[yazmo]

thx you for those info appreciate it a lot

[Legacy777]

You're welcome.

hey guy been a while, got everything back together coolant reservoir starter clean and test.
now i don't have anything light up, no light inside out, seem like nothing going in the fuse box in the engine bay. starter and battery are good.

now i have also a question there is a wire coming underneath the fuse/relay box that look like a ground to me.
i just don't know it is so short and i don't recall where its was plug.
i have look everywhere i dont see where it could be plug beside the battery.

is that a ground or a need to plug this on the positive side of the battery??
i got a picture for that, parking light use to work so something tell me i have something that is not correctly plug
i also had problem with the starter and coolant bracket also forgot which side it was i have been waiting too long for the fix, mom is in hospital i dint have time : (


trying to find the pdf of the starter install somewhere in my file.
any help of any kind will be appreciated
.

[cj91legss]

That wire should go to the positive terminal of the battery. It looks pretty short tho...

[yazmo]

yea thx i found out in the engine part catalog that it was going to positive but thx for confirming it.

[mike-tracy]

I'll bet that's 100% the problem.

[yazmo]

lol i wish
It was plug that way at the beginning, i just dint recall it back then.
I had no light no start no crank condition! only parking light was working.
since then i have clean anything to the battery to the starter, make ground cleaner etc...
so maybe that will help cross-finger on this, ill let you know xD

[yazmo]

ok guy some good news and some other bad.
we got the car to start, its seem like the fuse link wiring
in the fuse box inside the engine bay.

decide to pull it out to check then find out the wire was rusty and broke.

now the bad part, i keep hearing click click seem like coming from inside the dash
even with no key on the car in the ignition, only way its stop if its the car is running.
and all the light flash intermittently, inside car radio illumination all blinking, headlight blinking.
im thinking its maybe the wiring replacement i did
1.25A fuse wire i just took another wire and fabricated one from a normal wire
this is just speculation at this point.

i got video that i will post eventually its late and i am kinda feeling sleepy.
any thought?

View My Video video link if you wanna see it sorry for my bad english

ps: also forgot to mention if the car is running, click click sound go away and all light and illumination stop blinking too, but as soon as a remove the key from the ignition, everything is flashing. every one sec with a clicking sound, just like what a relay usually Sound like

[yazmo]

none of you have an idea what could cause this one one here have ever had this problem
instrument panel light and headlight all blinking and click click sound???

[mike-tracy]

Yes, in my case it was the main ground that goes to the intake manifold was loose.

[yazmo]

ill look into this thx
ill try to find the diagrams for it
all we did is reconnect the starter and the coolant reservoir, but we forgot how the bracket
was connected maybe we did something wrong.

but do you know if the fuse link wire 1.25A in the fuse box is for and if it's as to be a special wire????

[yazmo]

Ok i got something seem like when i remove the sbf no4 45a fuse the sound clicking is stoping all blinking light too ! I dont have the info about that fuse since my pdf is at home,any know what it does?

Im going to redo the wiring connector of the headlight that was melt
These have 3 wire red/black and yellow pic to come.
