So after driving the laser for the day, I went to drive home and the car wouldnt start. When I try to start it, you can hear a click that sounds like its coming from the ECU and also hear a click that sounds like its coming from the starter. Here's where it gets tricky.
The starter is brand new. It was tested right in front of me in NAPA, so I know its not shot.
The battery is fine, holds 12volts solid while trying to start. The POS on the starter solenoid is also fine, this also holds charge, along with the ground on the starter bolt. However, the solenoid signal wire (black wire that clips onto the solenoid) receives no power at all. What could cause this to receive no power?
Also the car pop-starts just fine, but thats not really... ideal haha.
So yeah, any help or ideas is much appreciated!
Thanks, Jake.
