Starter problems

[Rusbus]

Electrical gurus please help, I've changed my starter due to solenoid not working and van still won't start on key, I can start it by jumping power across the terminals on the motor, is there a relay for this or is it ignition barrel controlled?

What year is your van, there is a relay for starter motor, for 02>06 its relay No1 in the fascia fuse box, also check the cable next to the battery some of the early ones had a problem with the cable rubbing through

It's an 07, have unplugged the connector next to battery and tried jumping from that which works but still nothing on key

Cant see it being an immobiliser problem, I dont think Ford would have just cut power to the starter for the immo, if that was the case most Ford that was parked on a hill would have been nicked as they rolled them down the hill and started them in gear

No, it comes on when ignition is turned and then goes off as normal

Have you checked fuse Fuse F8 & F12 in the engine bay fuse box

F12 was blown, maybe from when I tried jumping and joy it's started, thanks guys I actually love all of you xxx

Immobilisers on connects inhibit fuel pump & starter motor

Wiring diagram for 2003-2006 connects

He's sorted it now so there's no need is there ????

That is exactly what I said:


"I dont think Ford would have just cut power to the starter for the immo"

the just meaning just the starter motor and nothing else, so think about it, if it started by connecting a 12 volt feed to the starter solenoid then its NOT going to be an immo problem is it

Hi all I am new here, I understand this is a old thread but I have the same problem but mines is a 04 plate connect starts fine touching the two points with a screwdriver but not with the key, the batter is all good the earths look all good but the red live cable looks not in the best condition will this be the problem?? Also on the 04 model what fuses and relays can I check and is there anything else I can check??

Thanks you
