Hi, I have a new shape scudo van (2.0) which developed a problem with no cranking at the turn of the key, The fault was intermittent to start with but on the 3rd occasion turning the key a second time didnt crank the engine. A mechanic said its the starter motor and confidently replaced it, unfortunately with the same result ie dead when the key is turned (all the lights on the dash are ok with no warning lights). Temporarily he wired a switch from I think the battery to the solenoid on the starter motor and it spins up and starts immediately. He checked the ignition switch and said it was OK so does anyone know where the starting relay is located in this model or have any ideas?. Incidentally, I have now lost power above 1500 rpm and this seemed to have coincided with the change of starter motor. Any ideas?
 
Hi, I have just found out that the power loss is because the Turbo boost pipe is split, so the two faults aren't related...this just leaves the original fault ie no cranking at the turn of the key, any ideas?
 
Thanks for that varesecrazy, I'll mention that to my mechanic, but isn't the earth of the Starter Motor via the bodywork? and how could that fail?
