Engine 1275 Spi
Last Thursday morning I started the mini... All was normal until i let go of the key to stop turning the engine over as it had fired. It died. I tried to start the mini again and it wouldn't even turn over.... It still doesn't.
Steve has been to look at it and still have no idea what the problem is.
I've spent the last 2 nights testing areas of the car.
Now here is the list of the things that don't work:
- Indicators
- Radio
- Interior Light
- Alarm/Immobiliser warning LED
- Alarm/Immobiliser
- Brake test light
- Horn
Things that do work:
- Petrol pump
- Front lights (side, main, full)
- Heater blower
- Rear Fog lamp
- Tail lights
- Brake lights
- 3 clock dash (Pertrol guage, Battery light, main beam light)
- Cigerette Lighter
There is 12Vs running to both the alternator and starter motor so rules out a battery problem
All the fuses are fine in the 24 fuse box
All wires and conections have been checked and are fine
The things that don't work run independantly to the ignition switch and all act like a blown fuse (which isn't possible as all are okay and the wiring behind the box is okay too)
Haynes can be very confusing as it goes on about in line fuses and main fuses.... Is there more fuses than the 24 on the bulk head? If so where?
Is it a relay? (main black one that holds 4, that controls the engine, fuel, starter and one other) or a yellow block relay?
I'm so confused about the problem and getting very frustrated with the car...
What is causing the problem?
Some one pleaase help!!
