Technical Wiring diagram

[gweath]

Hi My starter motor refused to work on two frosty mornings so I removed it and it worked fine on the bench.
The wire from the ignition switch to the selenoid has no power when key is turned.
I am wondering if a wire from the switch to the seleniod will do the job.
Any help will be very helpful.

Hello,

Just a thought: isn't it a problem with the immobilizer?

As far as I remember there's a eLearn CD image file available for the x244 in the download section of the forum. It should be helpful. Have you checked it?

Sorry, most definitely not a problem with the immobiliser.
Could be the ignition switch, or wiring which routes via the engine bay fusebox.
Applicable Fiat eLearn diagram E5010 attached.
I have also attached colour code translation sheet, and a recent diagram of mine showing the ignition switch in a different way. In this latter diagram there is connection across the switch, where there is a black square associated with that switch position..

Thank you very much I will try the wire from the fusebox first.It's strange that both times it happened it was below freezing.

Mine refused to engage. From memory, no solenoid action. Turns out there is a steel "shim" (for want of a better word) between the alloy bell housing and the alloy starter motor flange. My fault was electrolytic corrosion on both sides of the shim. Cleaned the layers with emery tape, re-assembled with anti-seize (silver impregnated) grease & it cranked faster than it ever had since I purchased it. Hard to believe the flange & 3x bolts could go open-circuit but they definitely did.
