Default sc400 not cranking, have fuel, and full battery

hi,

So It seems my sc400 is not starting. I had a new key made, and the drivers door handle was broken, so initially I thought it was the immobilizer. Ive locked and unlocked the drivers door many times, disconnected the battery (full).

there seems to be no click sound, Can anyone confirm the starter relay is green relay in the engine fuse box? I am going to replace this.

Does it sound like a starter issue? I just dont want to pull it all off if its not. thanks!

Dude,


It could very well be the starter/starter solenoid that is dead and needs to be replaced. Definitely check anything having to do with the starter and physically check all connections to rule out corroded/missing contacts.



Good luck

hmm. I really hope it isnt. Ive pulled the purple relay- says starter relay on it. But does anyone know what the green relay next to it is?

Try putting the jumper cable right to the starter positive post and negative to chassis, then the other two to the battery

sounds crazy but see if you can tap the starter with a hammer. If you do that and it starts its usually the starter solenoid. Replace starter
