There's a 350 amp fuse in the battery fuse box, immediately above the large connection relay

That seems be ok, is there a relay?

Only the dual battery relay, which is underneath.

Thats clicking seems ok, i took starter off, tested on bench fine, put back on van, connected short terminal to positive and even though battery not fully charged, it turned engine, key still doing nothing…

Ive also swapped round relays under bonnet

Not a poorly ignition switch is it..?? Solenoid energiser wire on the starter..??

I was going to ask the question, where does this terminal wire start at? This fires the starter so before tomorrow when i check if ignition is firing 12v to it to test this terminal with multi meter

[gsc1ugs]

This would tell me if ignition broke or something else

[gsc1ugs]

Ive found this connection up top next to fuse box, i ran direct connection to positive, engine turned over, to eliminate ignition, what connections can i short to mimic key turning to start please?

Anyone got next port of call? Starter turns engine, ignition isnt

Assuming Mk7..?? You don't actually say what modle Transit you have..?? What fault codes are you getting..?? Fuel rail pressure during cranking..?? Cam/crank sync ok..??

Have you replaced ignition switch..??

No codes, just no turn over at the key, hitting positive at the starter striking engine turns, want eliminate ignition at the ignition switch so its like eliminating key or in a crude word as though im stealing it

It's the switch on the back of the ignition barrel...very easy to change to eliminate it...10-15 quid will see it sorted...very common fail point on the Transits.

Well, seems to be the answer, just by passed ignition switch and it runs sweet as a nut

[gsc1ugs]

Well, it happens to of been fuse number 52 under bonnet, not ignition switch. Case closed
