What kind of ignition switch?

[xeroz18]

I have unrapped the cables "signal cable black/red) from the start engine to the fusebox. And the black and red goes to a contact on the backside on the fusebox. From the same "contact" there goes a black/purple and a black/blue cable to a contact on the gearbox.? I hav also cut the "signal" cable to the startengine as long as i colud to see if it was anything wrong whith the cable itself. No result.....

so starter motor is ok then - yet new contact isn't working ??

can you unplug the wiring and plug in the old one to test it ??

i guess you are not getting a +12v on the signal (small) wire on the starter motor

yeah thats right. i called it for signal cable from here on.

The contact on the backside off the fusebox. With the signal cable and the cables from the contact on the gearbox. I dont know if the have anything in common tho.

is the car manual or automatic transmission ?

 

[xeroz18]

manual

 

[Fl@pper]

cool cheers, just had a thought the gearbox inhibitor may be the issue - sorry

only thing close info wise i have is a scan of an Ibiza haynes manual if that would help at all ?

looking at it it showing

red/white wire from the ignition switch

to fusebox H1/1

from fusebox F1/1

red/white cable to a connector

red/white cable to terminal on starter motor

ok. i can take a cable from battery+ to a switch inside the car and then a cable from the switch to the startengine. It would be pretty cool.

But of course i still want to find out the problem.

Is there any others relays that could be "smoked".

Ofcourse i would like the ibiza scan. I can read thru quickly. I wont do anything more today afterall.

Can it be the computer?

 

[Fl@pper]

assuming the ibiza is the same as toledo which in basic principle i can't see it not being then the wire is a direct supply from ignition to starter motor with no relay or fuse listed

so at least it's easily replaced as a new wire and can only assume there is a break in the original somewhere ?

scan here anyway - will upload asap

 

[xeroz18]

ok thanks. Yeah iwill look it thru tomorrow and take some more pictures.

[xeroz18]

thanks fl@pper i will let you know tomorrow how it is going.

 

[xeroz18]

Hello Thanks for all the help Flapper i really appreciate it. I didnt find out what was the problem. But i took one cable from batery + and one from the startengine to a button inside the car. So now i start the car whith ignition and then press the button. Kinda cool.

By the way do you get any idea why my idle is so high after itooked the +cable off from the battery.

Thanks /Simon

 

[Fl@pper]

check throttle body is closed and working properly and dependant on engine follow breather hoses back to the idle control valve and give both a good clean

can't think of a +12v reason why either would be affected unless you have a deeper wiring issue related to the starter wire? maybe a section of loom shorted out ?

does it change at all after warm up or is it very high all the time ?

worth checking the cable too as you might have leant on it messing with the loom : ) never know

 

[xeroz18]

What should i clean it with?

 

[Fl@pper]

aerosol carburettor cleaner if you can get it or brake cleaner as alternative but make sure it's dry and clean before firing it up - off car is best way to do it
