Test NS-9C - Repairing No Crank Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Sundance and 1994 Dodge Shadow. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION TABLE. For wiring diagrams, see WIRING DIAGRAMS .

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.
