help,turn key to start,no sound
my 92 svx happened from time to time,about 20-30% of time,
when i turn the key to start,all the lights show,but when turn key further to start,no sound at all. Before,i have to try again,and it usually starts after the 2-3 times. Today,i went up to the snow parking lot,0 degrees cel.,and take me 6-7 times to start. Is this the starter problem?or something else? Is someone has a spare for sale?Thanks. |
Re: help,turn key to start,no sound
You will want to do a search on this, try seaching for "starter relay bypass"

Re: help,turn key to start,no sound
Could be the neutral safety switch, which is the mechanism that prevents starting the car in any drive gear. Try shifting into Neutral next time this happens and see if starts then.

It's either the ignition relay or the park-neutral safety switch. The ignition relay goes through your steering wheel and is a bugger to replace but not totally terrible. The park-neutral safety switch is located underneath your center console (like directly below the emergency brake) and probably easier to fix.. just depends on how easy it would be to move/remove the center console off. A while back, I had an ignition switch issue and with that fixed.. now, I think I too suffer from the neutral switch issue. :lol: |

Ill check all to see. Thanks cozykat,could you tell me about your ignition issue? cos at first i thought it was my loosen ignition switch that present the problem,after the cover came out,there was a screw that hold the switch that was lossen,.But after tightened,the problem still exist. So,may be i hav to check the relay first. thanks. SO,if anyone know how to test a starter motor to see if its good or bad? and how to test a bad relay? sorry,i just a novice. THANKS ALL,THE BEST. |

You need to fit a 30 amp Bosch relay to the starter solenoid that is on the starter motor. Any auto electrical shop will know what this is and fit it for you. This a link to the way it is fitted. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...1&postcount=23 Harvey. |

the bypass mod is a 4 terminal Bosch relay and the factory one, the 5 terminal one could even be Bosch, but not necessarily a Bosch, that is used in conjunction with the SVX factory oriented security system circuit is a 5 terminal relay, using a normally closed position of contacts during the start process.:) This 5 terminal relay is not energized during the start process. The factory 5 terminal is also used in conjunction with the security system to prevent starting if alarm security is violated. Keith:cool: |
Re: help,turn key to start,no sound
Im still betting 5 forum Pesos it's his Neutral Safety Switch, he says he hears no clicking or anything when he turns the key. He hasn't verified he tried starting it in Neutral yet..... I believe this test is the most simple to do and easily eliminate the NSS as a cause, as you only have to move the gear selector a couple clicks down.... not exactly hard to check.
Just my 2¢ |

I wouldn't put money on the notion that there isn't a "Bosch relay" buried somewhere in the vicinity of the car that does the same thing as the 5 terminal relay does on ours. With a wiring diagram, it would be a snap to find it. Maybe someone with one from those other country's would be nice enough to attach one?? Thanks... Keith:cool: |

As far as I know, only the US cars came with a security system. The Australian car's circuit only has the, Ignition switch, and the gearbox selector switch in the starter circuit. As it is usually starter in the Park position, that is the one that gets worn the most. So in Tigers case, if it will start in N, it is the gearbox switch. If it won't start in either P or N, it is the ignition switch, or some other obscure wiring fault. It appears that the US security relay has a normally closed contact that ages to not make a good contact. So 'you all' have a third set of contacts to give trouble. Harvey. |
