- If engine cranked, replace starter relay. Perform TEST VER-1. If engine did not crank, disconnect jumper wire. Note if starter solenoid clicked when jumper wire was connected. Disconnect starter relay Brown wire from starter solenoid.
- Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of Brown wire between starter relay connector and starter solenoid. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Brown wire. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, reinstall starter relay.
- Check battery cables for high resistance. If either battery circuit had a voltage drop of more than .2 volts, repair battery circuit for high resistance. Perform TEST VER-1 . If voltage drop for either battery circuit is less than .2 volts, go to next step.
- If starter solenoid clicked when jumper wire was connected in step 1), repair starter for a mechanical failure. Perform TEST VER-1. If starter solenoid did not click when jumper wire was connected in step 1), replace starter solenoid. Perform TEST VER-1.
