Ok so i just bought a project car that was not running. The owner said he bought it in an estate sale and it only ran for a day. I dont believe it however.
Ok so here is what ive gathered.
- Door panel was off and i believe he replaced the locking mechanism , window motor and the door panel.
- The car has 3 new keys , 2 regular keys and one of the flip key im assuming with a chip. I have no clue if they are programmed for the car or if they have to be. THe remote key does not open the doors or lock them.
- new battery by me
- Inside of car was moldy smelling so im assuming it was stored in a moist environment.
- Windows dont work, locks do work with the button on the inside of the driver side door.
- Inside lights dont come on when you open the doors .
- DOES NOT CRANK - hear the fuel pumps turn on , dash lights come on, head lights come on. Thats it.
- When you turn the key the lights go out and nothing. the starter does not spin and the car does not crank.
----- What ive tried -------
- Ive looked through the fuses and they are all ok , or from what i saw
- Checked the cable connections for the battery and starter and look ok.
- I jumped the starter with a pair of plyers and the starter does spin but does not crank the motor. So it does get power to the starter, just wont spin it or crank the motor from inside the car.
- checked the wires coming into the relay box and they seem ok.
---------------- Any help with this would be great. Help me diagnose this thing !!!!
