how to bypass starter relay?

Hello,

This could be a problem with the starter or the wiring going to the starter itself. Below I have included a link for you. They are troubleshooting guides for you to go through.

It's getting fuel. I forgot to mention I already checked for pressure and it has tons. Has spark as well as did a compression test.

Hello again,

Okay, so you have fuel, spark, and compression? If you have all three there should be no reason why it would not start. Have you checked to make sure the timing chain didn't jump time or a tensioner didn't give way?

Thanks,

It didn't jump timing I know that. Code reader showing no faults for sensors at all.

Hello again,

Okay, did you happen to get a chance to go through the factory troubleshooting flowchart that I sent a couple of messages ago? I think that will zero in on what the issue is. Please go through it and let me know what you find out and we can go from there.

Yes, I had a chance to look at it. What i am doing is taking the starter motor relay completely out and using a wire to jump 30 and 87 together. that will crank. but still no start. do i need that starter motor relay in for it to actually start?

Hello,

A relay is nothing more than a switch. Electricity is supplied to the control side of a relay, energizing an electromagnet. The electromagnet then pulls the switch closed on the power side completing the intended circuit. In this case the intended circuit is to supply power to the starter. I have included diagrams for the relay in the diagrams down below.

I have had this happen. Before you jump the relay make sure your key is in the ignition and in the run position then jump relay. vehicle should start like normal.

Thank you for posting that info. That is a common mistake people make when jumping the relay so thanks for adding that.

Please come back to 2CarPros and let us know if you need help with anything as well. Thanks
