The car will not start. We switched the battery with a good one and it still would not start. The power at the starter is reading the same voltage as the battery voltage. When we tried to hook up a code reader but there was no power at the code read. I know basics but why there is no power at the code reader is beyond my knowledge.

There is a small trigger wire on the starter with the key in the start position does that have battery volt age to it? You probably have a blown fuse that is why the code reader is not powered up. Have you checked all the fuses yet?

I cannot find a 40 amp ACC fuse. Here are some power distribution wiring diagrams can you see which fuse you are talking about?

Here are some fuse panel diagrams as well.

Please let us know what you find. I'm interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
