vn will start from strarter motor but not from ignition and no dash

[nathan01]

i tryed all fuses really terminals coil alternator and still nothing

[mischa]

I got know idea what your trying to say. What car? Engine? Whats happaning precisely?

[nathan01]

well on the dash there is no lights no stereo nothing then tryed to start it but nothing so i by passed it by the starter motor and it strarted i look at all the fuses and realey switch and terminals
it a vn v6

[mischa]

What do you mean i by passed it by the starter motor? To me that means you took it out/unwired it?

Sounds like loose battery terminals, mine would do the same when i had shit clamps on them. Worth a shot.

[wortus]

your shorting out hte starter motor terminals and the motor cranks but does not actually start and idle right? It should not actually start and run unless you do this with the ignition turned on.
I you have no tell tales etc it sounds like a fuse or a fusable link so have a look at al of these if you can, take them out and use a multimeter. There are fusable links near the battery and the middle one is bolted in is the direct feed fromt he battery so it's probably OK also it's easy to crack the black plastic body doing the bolts back up so leave it alone if it has power on both sides just check the ones that pull out and the fuses under the dash.

cool will have alook but pretty much tryed all those what i meant by bypass is tht i started it from the strarter motor not the ignition thanks anyways

[wortus]

can you detail how you started it from the starter motor?

[votality]

Is he sure th ignition isnt just screwed ?

[nathan01]

u put the screw driver in the starter motor a cross it and it starts and just found two grey wires coming from the ignition that arent even connected cant find were they go but i think it for the stereo

[db_notso]

battery isnt flat and starts when bridging signal and power on the starter?
that starting sytem sure aint working correctly ~!
pull the barrel out (key in turn on and pull barrel out by pressing in the hole on the coloumn)
pull the ignition switch out
turn igntion switch with screw driver

my guess the point on the end of your ignition barrel is snapped off.... but car should not start and idle without the ignition switch on unless you hot wired the car... and the fuel (vn naughtiness) !~

[nathan01]

yeah that what i did pulled the ignition barell out and try that and nothing so i put it on acc and started it at the starter motor

[db_notso]

wow.. then no dash lights no ignition circuit.... vn.....
hang on ill check my crapola

here is picture of engine power supply's from battery showing fuses what you need to pay attention to is the top part battery to ignition switch..

and if check engine lamp doesnt illuminate when ignition switch in on position
then likely no power to ignition switch from 60 amp fuse from battery
or the battery earth is rusted or loose on battery or chassis
or positive terminal loose

basically diagnose why you dont have power supply to the dash from your battery when ignition switch on
this will fix your problems...

so yeah i guess its a fuse 60 amp from battery or ignition switch or battery terminals...

[nathan01]

cool thank u db_notso will try it today and get back to ya

[nathan01]

all good now was engine main fuse now got a stuffed fuel injector

[db_notso]

good to hear~!
