1994 Mini Mayfair - Starter Clicks Following Engine Detailing


Best Answer davidbond007 , 19 February 2020 - 06:23 PM

I soldered the brown wire to a new spade connector on the Starter Relay and the starter worked perfectly - SORTED !!!!! Now starts frst time every time.

I have learned a few things : (1) how to decipher Haynes wiring diagrams (2) Focus on the symptoms / problem not what might have caused them (steam cleaning was the red herring here)  (3) Work through potential causes systematically by tracing wires to components - in this case ignition switch to starter relay then to starter solenoid and starter motor.

 

Thanks all.

Perhaps they knocked the wire off when cleaning it ...
