(1) Battery Cables corroded / connections bad ? ( how old are they ? ) (2) Clean all contact points ? ( sand down , chemical clean , whatever ) Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Damaged or disconnected the power wire from the solenoid to the stator? The ignition-start wire triggers the solenoid to push the drive pinion gear out and also acts as the high current switch to turn the starter motor on. If the positive wire from the solenoid relay switch to the stater motor is damaged or disconnected, or the relay switch inside the solenoid housing is bad, then the motor gets no power. Check that out and see if that's the case. Chingon! jajaja Quote Link to comment
Chingon 510 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 cables are not corrocted engine is rebuilt with new wires Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Take a picture of the wiring at the starter? Quote Link to comment

Chingon 510 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 sorry about that Quote Link to comment
Chingon 510 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 this is how i have it connected... i also tried to supply direct power to the starter. and it does the same thing, wich is the bendix comes out but doesent spin,( turn the engine over) Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Whats that black cable doing on there??????? both those lugs are positve.or when you hit the start wire those 2 lugs get shorted together. Cant believe you did this.never seen that before some people( I myself) also use the hole near the head by the fuel pump to ground also.Use a nice short black cable alwsy place the positive side of the battery near the firewall. incase battery goes foward and hit the hood and shorts out(i know this from experience) put the black cable on the bolt that goes thru the trans .that will be your ground!!!!!!!!!!!!

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 looks like what you did is hit the key switch and it shorts out the battery.Lucky it didnt blow up the nut on the rt side is for the motor that is hooked up already. when you get the little 12volt wire trips the selinoid then routes power from the left side(red battery cable then goes to the right side then down to the notor with that thick copper cable. then to ground Quote Link to comment
Chingon 510 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 "> "> so is this wired wrong? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 wired wrong YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! isnt that what I said? put the black cable on the bolt that goes thru the trans .that will be your ground!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 If that black wire is a ground wire, then that is definitely wrong. Well, it's pretty much wrong regardless of where the black wire goes, since you really shouldn't have anything piggybacked off that lug. The starter grounds through the engine/transmission. The right lug is only to supply power through the solenoid switch to the starter motor, which it looks like you've grounded out. At this point you may have fried the solenoid switch or a fusible link... Quote Link to comment
Chingon 510 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 by the way on this pic the starter wasent bolted all the way through... so connect the ground cable from the battery between the strater and the trans?... so what goes on were i have the ground cable now?..... Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Nothing besides the wire going directly INTO the starter housing. This is the power to the starter motor as it comes through the solenoid switch from the power wire you've attached to the left stud. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 +1 ^^^ what Banzai and thisismatt said in a picture ! yay ! :D !!! Instructions posted below in picture Quote Link to comment
Chingon 510 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 ok so ground cable goes between starter and trans, and switch the positive cable from battery to wear i had the negative cable? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 ok so ground cable goes between starter and trans, and switch the positive cable from battery to wear i had the negative cable? Ground could go directly under the bolt head washer, not between the starter and trans. No, leave your positive cable where it is. Nothing goes on the right stud, other than that very short cable going directly into the starter motor housing. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 The ground can go anywhere on the engine block - it doesn't have to be right there at the starter or on the starter bolt. Just anywhere on the block that will provide a clean, solid connection. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Nissan bolts the ground to the head, probably to save copper wire. :lol: The best place is right at the starter but any place on the block will do. Quote Link to comment
