i fitted a reconditioned starter and alternator today but cav will not turn over so took starter back out and put a direct live to it and it worked so refitted it so took out alternator and fitted a differant one and still will not turn over checked all wires fuses and joints all ok but i noticed when the ignition is turned on all dash warning lights light up as normal but the engine management light and brake warning light are not as bright as the rest
You shouldnt have had the battery/charger on while you changed the starter, its one of the few jobs you cant get away with leaving it on
check the starter relay clicks when you attempt to start it, its sort of in (but behind) the fusebox, look for the black/red wires
Im assuming your checking the black/red is live when your trying to start it.
