If anyone can help me with this problem I'd really appreciate it! recently bought a XR6 turbo BA 2004 It's a manual. drove it like normal everything was fine till one morning tried to start it and nothing. It's not even trying to turn over. Literally nothing. Battery has been checked and is fine. Starter motor is fine. Fuses are fine. I'm thinking it could be something electrical but I'm not sure. My mechanic has looked at it and tried/tested things and still no luck. Tested the ignition barrel only the part where you put the key in. Works fine. could it be anything else?? If anyone knows or has had this issue before, I'd appreciate some advice thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno2411 New Member 8 Member For: 7y 4m 14d Posted 04/12/16 11:03 PM Author Share Posted 04/12/16 11:03 PM Thanks but I already tried that and still nothing. I tested the starter motor on its own and the engine cranks but doesn't start. But nothing through the ignition/key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to get him to have a look at it. Nah I haven't had a scan tool on it. What does that do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the more frequented tuners the guys on here prefer in your State would be a good bet to visit - they'd seen hundreds of Ts and would know where to look for this issue.

I use torque pro and forscan on my tablet with a Bluetooth elm327 dongle. Much cheaper. I bang on about it a bit but it's is the cheapest way to troubleshoot these things. Definetly post up your findings mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
