Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
Hi,
Does someone know where i can find the engine-starter fuse. When turning the key, the starter does not give a kick, putting 12+ on the relay directly from the battery, the starter just working fine. It can only be a fuse, or that damn Bosch alarm. Normally the Bosh alarm is disconnected, so... Thx Benoit |
Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
If it is an Auto it might be the interlock switch on the trans linkage
that only allows it to start in Park. Could also be your ignition switch.

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
Tony, thanks for the tip
Is not an Auto, and so far i can check it, its not the ignition switch. Thats the first think i thought, because i had this problem with my previous Coupe, a 1985 model. When i switch with the key to the ignition position, i can hear a little 'tick' around my dashboard, so i am pretty sure it's acts correctly. It's strange, the owners manual nowhere refers to any fuse.

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
With a helper you could put a volt meter tester on the small connection
of the starter solonoid and turn the key to see if it is getting power. If it is then the starter solonoid is the problem (probably dirty or corroded).

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
Benoit,
Is the "tick" from your dash, or from the starter solenoid under the hood? Like Tony says, check the wires at the starter to see if they are getting power. There's a braided cable that runs from the solenoid to the starter - often it gets corroded and causes the starter to pack up. Cheers!

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
Hi Steve,
The tick is from the dash The solenoid and starter are fine, because i already started the car taking power directly from battery.. There is something wrong between the solenoid to ignition switch. My local dealer told me by phone he is pretty sure it is my ignition switch, because there is no fuse between both.. i have to messure step by step and check my wires Thx for the help Benoit "Steve Sears" <steve.sears@SHOESsoil-mat.on.ca> wrote in message news:XMQlb.13226$XO.955262@news20.bellglobal.com.. . > Benoit, > Is the "tick" from your dash, or from the starter solenoid under the hood? > Like Tony says, check the wires at the starter to see if they are getting > power.

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
Hi Tony,
The solonoid is working. Whith a friend we did the test with the voltmeter, but no power coming from wire. Getting power directly from battery with a external wire, solonoid activates the starter, and car is running Thx Benoit "TonyJ" <tonyjNOSPAM@NOSPAMvisi.com> wrote in message news:3f9713fb$0$75895$a1866201@newsreader.visi.com ... > With a helper you could put a volt meter tester on the small connection > of the starter solonoid and turn the key to see if it is getting power. > If it is then the starter solonoid is the problem (probably dirty or > corroded). > > Tony > '91 100Q 5spd > > Benwa wrote: > > Tony, thanks for the tip > > Is not an Auto, and so far i can check it, its not the ignition switch. > > Thats the first think i thought, because i had this problem with my previous > > Coupe, a 1985 model. > > When i switch with the key to the ignition position, i can hear a little > > 'tick' around my dashboard, so i am pretty sure it's acts correctly. > > It's strange, the owners manual nowhere refers to any fuse. > > > > Grtz > > Benoit > > > > "TonyJ" <tonyjNOSPAM@NOSPAMvisi.com> wrote in message > > news:3f96de0e$0$41285$a1866201@newsreader.visi.com ... > > > >>If it is an Auto it might be the interlock switch on the trans linkage > >>that only allows it to start in Park.

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
I would be thinking aboutthe ignition switch.

It is the first thing i will check tommorow

Re: Audi Coupé 1991 2.3 Quattro - Not starting
If externally applied 12V energises the starter and no 12V comes from the
wire - there is either abroken wire or more likely ignition switch. You can try to identify the wire at the ignition switch end and check what comes out of the switch. Whatever the case you can drive for months with a wire inserted in the starter actuation pin and routed somewhere within reach. You stick it in the lighter socket and you can drive. No need to isolate the end much - the wire is under power only when stuck to 12V.
