No Start Problem Cured

[Rich DJ]

Hi Just thought I would share this with you, my wife has a Toyota Yaris 2006 diesel and its a driving school car and has over 200,000 miles on it about 190,000 miles it has had a new Toyota starter motor due to being noisy and int starting (cant seem to get a patern part as they dont go wrong:-) ) and yesterday it let her down so I tested down to the solanoid cable and there was a switched 12v from the start key, so firstly I suspected new starter motor faulty then I checked the ground on the engine and with one meter probe on the Battery - and the other to the engine metal and it raised to 12v when they start key turned.

So I pulled the left side plastic panel next to the front left wheel to access the gearbox and the Battery to engine ground and it looked like the connecter was corroded due to no insulationg material.

So as my wife needed it for work I found a short length of black 20mm auto leads High power amp cable and a couple of solder large tags and sealed with self amalgamating tape to prevent water ingress.

bolted on and tie wrapped on.

Job done starts every time now :-)
